I am the individual who posted the fix for the crash on the webpage Nov 5th (6th depending on timezone). I didn't post references because none were required, given that the solution is anecdotal and not officially provided by the developer. Reports on the issue and its solution have only been posted on Steam forums and I haven't found it to be a reliable place to gather feedback from users.
On the other hand, it's not an inconsistent solution and the reason why it works is entirely unrelated to restarts (to be fair, it's almost insulting to suggest so). Turning it back on reintroduces the crashes on startup. Due to the nature of my job I have several machines at the office and ran tests on all of them. The machines with Windows 10 and Pascal cards did not crash. The machines with non-Pascal (AMD 6000 series and Nvidia) cards did not crash regardless of Windows version. Only situation where that specific crash happens is on Windows 11 with a Pascal card and a recent subset of drivers. Any reports that have been posted regarding crashes on startup that aren't solved by hardware-accelerated gpu scheduling are unrelated to this issue and are part of another type of crash.
