    Turns out my hunch is correct for the wrong reason. You do not need to downgrade to W10. you do however want to manually update your graphics card driver from the Nvidia site. For whatever reason my version of Geforce Experience couldn't find the current November drives while stating that my June drives are up to date, so I suggest updating them both manually.

    Link to manually update Nvidia GPU: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

    For those who experienced the same issue but have a AMD GPU: https://www.amd.com/en/support

    For those who experienced the same issue but have a Intel GPU (Which I don't think it should be happening, given how recent their GPUs are): https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html

    Quick clarification: If your graphics card driver is months old and the updater still say its up to date, chances are, its not up to date and you will have to update both the drivers and the updater manually. (unless you have a end of life, discontinued card, which in this case your pc doesn't meet minimum specs to run NFS: Unbound)
