@Jambung69, thanks for your prompt response and time.
I appreciate your efforts for writing back to us.
Splendid analysis and remarkable patience shown. It is immensely appreciated.
As you mentioned the issue still persists after trying out the steps.
Try few steps recommended below and check if it helps.
Try disabling the firewall and antivirus temporarily on your PC and check if the issue persists.
Also, This problem may occur if you have corrupted or damaged system files on your Windows computer.
Follow these steps to recover your system files:
1)Type cmd in the search box from Start. Then right-click on Command Prompt to select Run as administrator.
Click YES when prompted by the User Account Control.
2) Type sfc /scannow and press Enter. Wait for the scanning to be 100% completed.
3) Type the following commands and press Enter after each.
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

4) Reboot Windows 10 and run your game software to see if it works.
Lastly, if nothing works try using Windows Registry Editor to adjust the value of TdrDela entry, which represents for Timeout Detection and Recovery. Increasing this value will increase the processing time of your graphics card
To adjust this value, press Windows + R, type: regedit and then press Enter to open Windows Registry Editor.
In the Registry Editor, look at the left panel and open the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> GraphicsDrivers
Next, create a new DWORD (32-bit) entry named TdrDelay. Then double-click on it and set the value to be 8.
Click on the “OK” button to save the change. After that, close Registry Editor and restart your computer.
Let me know if this helps!
Take Care! 🙂

@Jambung69, Thanks for your prompt response and time.
I know you running a 64-bit operating system, but the file you are creating is a 32-bit in the registry.
Once you are in the registry setting.
You just have to right click on the empty space and select a new DWORD (32-bit) entry named TdrDelay. Then double-click on it and set the value to be 8.
Click on the “OK” button to save the change. After that, close Registry Editor and restart your computer.
Hope this helps!
Take Care! 🙂
