POE 2 Complete PC Freeze while loading screen

bump
another week without any update on this bug
Yesterday windows forced me to install 24h2, so since I was already experiencing sudden and frequent game crashes before that I'll have to stop playing the EA in fear of damaging my system with the freezes.

GGG, the lack of comunication about your progress on the matter at this point is just sad, I'm not even angry at it anymore. I just don't trust you anymore as I used to do before PoE2.

I have played this game over 500h without any crashing issues. Last night my computer ran some windows updates and after that i started hard freezing while loading a new instance. When i enter the game my hideout loads just fine but after that it just freezes every time.
Delayed PoE 1 league again to fix bugs... well I'm waiting for the fix any day now GGG right?
Any updates on this issue ?
Same freeze.
Mouse slows down - music continues and no way out other than taking power out.

Win11 (24H2)
9800x3d (undervolted)
4090 (undervolted - MSI afterburner)
64GB DDR5
2+4TB SSD
the same problem
3080 Ti
Ryzen 5600

played 250+ hours and all was okay.
Yesterday updated to 24H2, and now it is unplayable.

My temporary solution:

1.In Task Manager, I drop 1 core from availability to get by with POE (PC still works after POE freeze and there's no need to reset the PC).
2.Before changing the map, I disable multithreading, go to the portal, and after the map is loaded, I enable multithreading (it's a temporary solution, but I have no possibility to roll back to Win 23H2).
"
I tried many different things, and after turning off Nvidia Reflex it stopped freezing for me, been playing for hours without any issues.

Might be a fix for some

This worked for me too. I also set the power management to most powerful.

without disabling any threads.

If you recently (like in the last 10 days) updated to 24H2 you can roll it back in the recovery options. Go to Settings, search for recovery options on the left and select "Go Back". If the "Go Back" button is greyed out, you're too late.
