Let me know if you want a deeper breakdown of any step.
It didn't resolve the problem; the same report came from the event manager. The issue remains consistent with the exact same loading causing the error.
I checked the details of the update. You might want to try an older NVIDIA driver.
I completed the DDU process and haven't tested an older driver yet. I'll proceed and provide an update.
