Windows 11 - Or Linux? M17xR4

Hello Again,

 

My M17xR4 has been running really well since the upgrade for CPU (3840qm) and GPU (p4000) while using windows 10. With the Oct deadline to upgrade to Win 11 I went ahead and updated the OS. After getting all of the drivers installed, I verified some games in steam and everything seemed fine. My kid installed Roblox on it but each time they went to launch it got a blue screen. At first I thought it was just the application but when i tried to launch the epic games launcher the same thing occurred. I originally installed the NVIDIA 576.88 drivers, but tried to roll back to 566.36 but the same issue is present. So my question is, has anyone else upgraded to Win 11 and had this issue and found a work around? I'd be open to trying Linux on this machine but not sure if installing the NVIDIA driver on Linux is as straight forward as modifying the driver on Windows. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Turn off GPU hardware scheduling if it's on in settings app.

Thank you @ssj92! Was this documented somewhere and I overlooked it, or just your personal experience. Either way I appreciate your help. 

I started getting BSOD in windows 10 and after months of troubleshooting, realized it was the gpu scheduling feature.
