Windows 11 crash + Nvidia driver on RTX5090 March 18, 2026, 11:39 p.m.
We have had confirmation from Microsoft that this is now indeed fixed.
"The fix went out in KB5077179, OS Build 28000.157. It rolled out over time starting mid-Feb, but should be generally available to everyone now. It specially covers the bug in the VirtualMemory allocator in dxgmms2.sys"

We have tested internally and can confirm we no longer get the crash.
Thanks all for your patience

An update of sorts:
We are in communication with Microsoft, and they have identified a problem in dxgmm2.sys and have a fix in the works, but have yet to supply a date/KB. We'll update here once we know more.
Thanks for your patience.

January 24, 2026—KB5078127 ← Works (as far as I can tell?)
even KB5078127 crashes for me

attached is a repro kit that we've passed on to Microsoft. Are you able to repro the issue with this?
