Steam VR frequently crashes + less stability on Windows 11

[Krogen]

Ever since I installed Windows 11 I have noticed that steam VR is significantly less stable, with more freezes and crashes happening every time I play. I'd say it crashes once every 15-20 minutes. Anybody else experienced this and have any tips?

Yes, I understand just using windows 10 is the ideal option, but I'm really more interested in resolving this issue on Windows 11. Thanks!

SteamVR isn't officially supported for W11 yet. You made the choice to move. Don't expect them to fix it any time soon.

Plus, I think "them" includes all PC driver developers. As I understand it, a feature of WIn 11 has something to do with running crypto-signed drivers in a protected mode which is supported only on newer processors (thus the Win 11 exclusion of older processors). Any old driver that doesn't get updated could be a problem. Any new driver could have new bugs. If a game wasn't developed on WIN 11, you don't want to test playing it there.

Found this on Reddit and it solved my issues!

Restart your computer and plug your Index into a USB 2.0 port.

Power cycle your Index; Remove the AC connection for 30 seconds.

Reset your SteamVR USB devices from Menu (3 lines) > Developer > Developer Settings > In the 'Reset' subsection, click 'Remove all SteamVR USB Devices'.

Shut down SteamVR.

Restart your computer

Reconnect your VR equipment to USB 3.0 ports.

Okay so, I know this solution is already out there but I HIGHLY recommend you look through the conflicting applications list. (just google steam vr conflicting applications)
I was using ASUS ARMOURY CRATE and that application seriously ♥♥♥♥♥ with VR for some reason. I uninstalled it and it is a LOT more stable. It still crashes in vr chat with 30+ people occasionally (again, NVIDIA and Valve need to update their ♥♥♥♥ to work with Windows 11) BUT it did seem to mitigate a lot of crashes.
Hope this helps and fingers crossed Valve and NVIDIA get with the times and update their software.

You need to disable "Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduler" under Windows graphics settings.
