RTX 3080 Freeze primarily during view switches

Store Version

Developer mode off

Simulator freezes on view switches (not responding, GPU utilization 0%)

Consistently happens both in NVidia 496.76 and with latest drivers (which I know have CTD issues that’s why I reverted back to 496.76)

Razer Blade 14 RTX 3080 16GB RAM 1TB SSD 500GB Free

Windows 11

I have tried deleting rolling cache, changing to preset graphics Medium, High, and Ultra.

Freeze happens at random points but usually more often closer to landing although today it froze 3 times early into the flight

Factory reset to Windows 11 and delete / reinstall worked for a couple of flights then the freeze / hang started to happen again.

I have gone through a lot of the other suggestions in other posts including deleting rolling cache, downgrading NVidia drivers, changing graphics presets, running in safe mode, all unsuccessfully.

Help would be greatly appreciated
