DWM.exe experiencing issues or crashes.
Issue Overview: DWM.exe frequently crashes, resulting in a black screen. This occurs right after launching games like Vampire Masquerade Bloodhunt or entering matches in Valorant. The problem began two weeks ago without any recent hardware or software updates. Prior to this, I used Windows 11 for about four to six months. My PC still operates normally, though it occasionally displays distorted audio but no visual output. I have a Remote Mouse app installed on my phone to manage the PC remotely; I restart or shut it down when the screen goes dark. So far, I've adjusted visual effects, reinstalled the latest Nvidia drivers, reset components, and changed cables/ports. Only one RAM stick is connected in the correct slot. I've tried fresh Windows 10, removed background apps, used Safe Mode with Nvidia drivers, tested different cables and ports, disabled all USB devices except mouse and keyboard, and reset BIOS settings. System details: Ryzen 5 3600, ASRock B450M Steel Legend Crucial P1 Gen3, 500GB NVMe SSD, GeForce GTX 1650 Twin X2 OC, GSKILL Ripjaws V 3000MHz, 8GB RAM (16GB total), Antec VP 500P (500W), PSU Acer VG240YP, 165Hz monitor. I haven't overclocked any parts and have never attempted it. The issue remains unresolved despite extensive troubleshooting. Please share any additional logs or files if needed.
