Hello,
I just wanted to share this with you folks in case you run into the same issue.

I have a fairly large project that I've been trying to render and all of a sudden (I think after a windows 11 update) my project would no longer render.  It would get a couple of hundred frames into the render and then crash.  I checked the windows event log and it was pointing at this dll: nvwgf2umx.dll.
This is a Nvidia DLL.  I found an article that said an older version was crashing people's games.  I updated my Nvidia driver to the latest studio (as opposed to gaming) version and I can now render my project again.
Hopefully this will save other's some pain.

Under rare circumstance a Windows update might simply uninstall the graphics card driver and replace it with an older version. Monitors suddenly went black and came back on a minute later. And then my computer had a driver that was much older so I needed to reinstall the current Nvidia driver. This has to be a bug in the Windows update routine.

At least I noticed it because it happened while I was using the computer. I suspect this can also occur during restarting the PC. Usually Windows installs updates while restarting. Then it might not be noticed immediately by the user. Instead you might encounter problems in your software on the next day and wonder why.
