SOLVED-MSFS freeze and CTD

Since today MSFS freezes followed by a CTD a few moments later.

It happens when I look around with mouse or Ctrl key. With a quick return to the forward view, it freezes followed by a CTD.

Same happend on serveral airports, also in Save Mode.

Same here. Since today and for the first time ever in my case, MSFS CTD when i try to load into a flight. Tested 12 hours ago, was good, except of weather and today i try to take a flight and CTD. Once it loaded into the cocpit and then suddenly freezes. No changes were made with my Computer. Only Update was the typical windows virus definition update. Save mode doesn’t help at all.

Tested several aircraft and several airports.

Yesterday I had my first critical error since I play MSFS.
Kernel power loss, error Kernel 41.
My computer freezed completely and I wasn’t able to do anything . I had to shut down vía Pc power button.
No changes in my PC recently.
The only thing I did 10 minutes before the crash was to change the antialiasing mode in game because suddenly appearing glich pixels ar top of the screen in TAA antialiasing mode.

Solved it by rolling back to previous Nvidia Driver. Worked the night before, and with no update made between it stopped working.

MSFS doing strange things.

For the last few months MSFS is regularly locking out and can only by ended using task manager. Windows is up to date, as are the drivers. The system specs are way above what it needs to run.
