Blue Screen in nipcibrd.sys on boot after installing game tools
I get a BSOD: nipcibrd.sys SECURE_PCI_CONFIG_SPACE_ACCESS_VIOLATION after installing game tools. My laptop is a 13th gen Intel 1340p with Windows 11 pro. Virtualization based security is enabled.
This is the convoluted workaround I followed to get my computer usable again (inspired by https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-disable-the-nipcibrd-sys-driver-to-prevent-hibernation/m-p/4296535).
