Thanks for the comment on changing NVIDIA drivers from game to studio type. Unity editor did not crash anymore after the change.

For your monitors make sure that you are using your NVIDIA graphic card and not the default graphics. If you have two monitors make sure that they are both using the same resolution and scale. Settings -> System -> Display -> Advanced display

I had to change my settings: For Windows 11 Settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics -> Add Desktop app -> Unity Editor -> GPU preference: NVIDIA -> Reboot
This worked for me. Now it all works perfectly.

I am using DX12 and solved the issue by switching to the latest NVIDIA Studio drivers instead of game ready drivers. Switching to DX11 did not change anything for me.

I fixed the issue by installing the newest nvidia drivers and selecting studio driver instead of gaming.

Editor is still crashing randomly - problem appears to be in every version from 6000.1.1f1 to 6000.1.15f1. With each release I keep hoping that this issue (and all the other DX12 issues in recent release notes) will be fixed... Using DX11 as a fallback is not really an option for my projects....
While I appreciate these DX12 issues may be complex to resolve, it would be helpful to get some indication from Unity on what progress is being made and when we might expect a fix...

Browsing assets via the Project window seems to be primary issue for me. I'm using the latest Nvidia drivers, I've changed DirectX version to 11 in the settings, I've used the command line, and none of these have worked. Every time I try to browse assets, it crashes constantly.

I have the same issue (already sent several bug reports). Since someone mentioned that the GPU driver could be the reason: I had the crashes with an one year old nvidia driver, then the same crashes with the latest one. So it doesn't matter. My system: Win 11 24H2, Intel i5-8600k, GTX 1070 Ti (but I guess, this is known by the log files 😄).
But the command line argument workaround works well for me. Thank you.
If someone else is wondering how to add command line arguments:
1. Open Unity Hub.
2. Click on the 3-dot-button right next of your desired project.
3. Select "Add command line arguments"
4. Paste them ( -force-d3d11 ) in and Save.
5. Then when opened your project, check in the title bar that it is saying "<DX11>" at the end.

Still having this issue. It's almost completely random. Sometimes at certain points in my project it fails, sometimes it trucks on. But when it crashes, it CRASHES the Unity editor with no recourse to continue. Not even the bug-report shows up. It's insane that I have had to launch Unity at least 2 dozen times a day wasting countless hours for a problem that hasn't been fixed in the last 5 versions.
