Recurring Crash related to NVIDIA drivers (nvwgf2umx, nvoglv64)

A recurring crash issue in the Unity Editor has been observed related to NVIDIA drivers, with no known condition to reproduce.

This is a known third-party issue, occurring from these DLLs:
(nvwgf2umx)
(nvoglv64)

Workarounds for the issue:

• Updating the GPU drivers
• Performing a clean driver installation
• Clearing the shader cache
• Checking for Windows updates
• Disabling any app used to monitor framerate
• Uninstalling/reinstalling NVIDIA Audio drivers
• Turning off any overlays from applications like NVIDIA, Steam, Discord, Overwolf, CurseForge, etc.
• If using a laptop, plug it into a power source to make sure the GPU is sufficiently supplied
• Using the latest supported Unity Editor versions

Notes:

• Not reproduced by CQA
• Might also affect the Standalone Player
• Keep in mind that some older GPUs do not fully support DX12, so a device filtering feature has been implemented, relating to this issue: https://issuetracker.unity.com/issues/9960/crash-on-gfxdeviced3d12basedrawbufferscommon-when-performing-various-unity-operations
