CK3 keeps freezing my computer

Hello everyone, I am playing CK3 through Game Pass on my new computer. To my despair, CK3 is the only game I am having issues with. I had two big sessions of CK3. Each time, everything went fine during the day. I played with no problems, even quit the game and went back on it. When I returned later however, I faced weird freezes. When I start the game, it crashes on the loading screen "initializing the game". When I keep trying, I manage to access my game but it freezes after a while. When I say freeze, Windows becomes irresponsive, and I have to reset the computer. Weirdly enough, when I manage to access the game, I can still move the mouse, hear the music playing on Spotify but I can't return to the desk or whatever. First, I thought it came from a corrupted save, due to my Documents folder synced on OneDrive. I deactivated it, removed the whole Paradox folder and started a new game. I thought it fixed it but I just had the same problem. I also deactivated the cloud syncing in the game. But it didn't fix it. My computer: Windows 11 Pro, updated Intel 12400f 4070 super 32GB ram SSD 1 To Temps are fine. All other games, even more demanding, run fine. For instance, I finished Frostpunk 2 without a single crash. I attached the logs. System log is empty and I have no exceptions.txt log. If anyone can help, I would be super grateful Thank you :)

Hey folks!
If you are having issues with CK3 freezing and you are on Windows 24H2, could you try updating your Nvidia driver to at least 572.42 and see if the issue persists?
We've had good results with that driver update internally.
