Strange. Check your RAM maybe. I can't remember the last time Windows crashed on...

More likely not enough swap space.

Windows doesn't overcommit and in GPU-accelerated apps these days the driver commits never-used main memory to back GPU memory.

Result is some users will have tabs and apps crash from out of memory even with 16 GiB of main memory if swap is disabled or very small.

I think this may be the answer... Ill investigate.

When you say "check your ram" do you mean consumption, or quality?

Run the memory test that comes with windows. It takes like an hour or something, and will tell you if the memory is malfunctioning - that would explain all the mysterious crashes.

I've had this problem out of nowhere one day (computer would not stop crashing randomly) and it turned out to be a defective memory stick. All good after replacing it.

Sometimes bad quality ram chips, or set with the wrong timing in UEFI, or just not properly seated ram, can cause problems similar to what you've described. Anecdotally I have W11 installed on 5 different machines and none of them have the issues you're describing.
