MSFS 2024 Freezing/Crashing (DXGI_Error_Device_Hung)

As of today (07/06/2025) my sim has started freezing, thinking that it may have been a driver issue i rolled back the drivers to a known working one and left the setting untouched from my last good working session about a week ago.
That did not fix the issue, after about an hour it just locks up, even tried uninstalling the sim and installing it again, still not resolved and i know my GPU RTX 4070 is good as i get no issues with other games i play, so has something happened in the back ground with MSFS 2024

Actually this could be a Nvidia APP issue as i did get a APP upgrade this morning

Just out of interest have you updated either bios or Windows Update? I updated my asus z690 to the newest bios. 4301 and my whole PC started crashing randomly. Seems it is quite a common issue so reverted.
The other was a day or so later Windows applied 2025-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5063060)
Now crashes exactly as you describe. Only in MSFS2024.
Again removed and barred this update and all is good again. After some research online it seems quite a few people are having the same issue in games and not just MSFS2024.

I had that exact error happen a couple of days ago.
Sting S4 (with several mods, including PMS50 GTN750, Bijan Seasons, and others) in a parking spot at KSEZ for an hour while I did some SPAD programming.
The Sting S4 is an FS2020 model that hasn’t given me any trouble in FS2024 in the past.

Win11 23H2
3090 Ti with driver version 572.83, no App.
GPU temp around 70°C (as usual)

I rebooted and worked for another few hours without incident.
