Strange behavior after latest updates nVidia or Windows 11.

Question

One of the two recent updates, either from nVidia or Windows 11, has caused a strange behavior in Photoshop. Everything works normally for a while, and then, during some action, it seems like the GPU support suddenly turns off. There is graphic lag when moving photos on the screen, and the display of tool indicators changes. The application seems to be running as if it has lost at least half of its resources. I have reinstalled the graphics drivers, but I cannot roll back the Windows update. Of course, everything worked fine until now. Does anyone have a similar issue? Any suggestions for a solution other than reinstalling the system?
