None recorded for the hard crash, requiring cycling the power button to reboot the PC.
Have gone through both and am up to testing after removing all Visual C++ and reinstalling.
Next step would be a fresh reinstall of MSFS but the link in your article to this guide doesn’t work:

Latest crash I was able to get a log from MSFS.

So after updating every driver I could along with other solutions that Chewwy94 posted in the guides. I’ve gotten this new crash report.
Looking through all the Fault Modules for the crashes over the past couple of days they are in order from most recent:
nvwgf2umx.dll
d3d11.dll
FlightSimulator.exe
RenoirCore.WindowsDesktop.dll
ucrtbase.dll
Below is the latest entire log but I’m thinking the last thing to do is re-install MSFS.

Yesterday after uninstalling MSFS, the computer multiple times would BSOD 20-30 minutes after opening MSFS to re-download so pointed to a memory leak on my end.
I don’t want to make this post too soon to jynx myself but it looks like the update made evident issues with my RAM and pointed to a hardware fault with DDR5. Resetting the CMOS and clearing out the firmware and updating seems to have fixed it. Currently doing my first flight after 5 hours of reinstalling.
