Windows 11 keeps crashing

[Alternative Trash Bin]

I had played No Man's Sky on my previous pc, it had 16GB RAM and 8GB graphic card with Windows 10, on this new machine I have way better components but the game keeps crrashing before loading the planets. The only thing I can think of that is causing this is being a Windows 11 set-up. Any tips or tricks to get it to work? thank you.

I have win11 and no problems
No error code if it crashes ?

You may have a look into your windows Event Viewer for more Info about that crash.

WINKey+R opens RUN, here type eventvwr.exe

Here expand Windows Logs and look under Application for warnings with a Timestamp of that crash.

Copy&Paste the details here, so we can check it

If this one shows only AppHang with unknown Reason, check the Events below of this one

NMS works perfectly fine on Win11, I myself have been using Win11 for almost two years now, and haven't had any problems during that time.

It could be that something is missing from your new computer that NMS needs.
Check in installed apps, which Microsoft Visual C++ versions you have there, there are usually a lot of versions, but 2010, 2013 and 2022 are the ones that must be there for NMS.

If something is missing, you can easily install them with this all-in-one download

An alternative link to Microsoft, where you can find all the necessary files (if you know what to look for).

Then an updated GPU driver may also be needed, a list of the latest ones can be found here, with download links.

Same as Captain.J - I've been running Windows 11 since its beta and NMS has never been an issue.

Props for your 100% useful comment as it too will help them troubleshoot their NOT a Windows 11 issue.

You seem to have missed the entire point. OP seems to think Win11 Is the cause of the problem.
I too am now on Windows 11 and the game runs as well or better than ever. So Windows 11 isn't the cause of his problems.
Let us know when you get the OP's problem figured out. We are all genuinely curious since, again, Win11 isn't the problem.
