Greetings Giles!
TLDR: Still an issue.

Just for my favorite app team, I got on my knees and switched video cable just
for the test! :)

# Versions
Digikam: 8.8.0
Windows: 11 / 24H2 26100.7462
Nvidia driver: recent: 581.80

# Hardware setup:
- Primary monitor is connected to CPU-integratred video.
- Secondary monitor is connected to NVidia GPU.
- No graphics issues with any other apps.

# TEST 1:

Open Nvidia Control Panel.
* As intended, it shows only one monitor connected to the Nvidia GPU.

PC is under a light load.  Start Digikam.
* Digikam opened on my default monitor that was connected to CPU-integratred
video.  Observed for a few minutes: working fine, finished startup scan.

I dragged DK window to the secondary monitor (connected to NVidia GPU), idle
for a few minutes.
* no issues.

While DK was on secondary monitor, I closed it (hoping to save its window
position).
* no issues.


# TEST 2A:

Start DK (after it was closed on secondary/Nvidia monitor).
* DK window started on the secondary monitor.
I didn't interact with the window.
* After a few seconds, Windows crashed.


# TEST 2B:

Start DK again.
* Crashed again.  Approximate message: your device ran into problem and needs
to restart...
* The message dissapeared too fast - I could not catch the driver name.


# TEST 3:
Reconnect both monitors to NVidia GPU and verify their visibility with NVidia
Control Panel.
* success.

Start DK.
* success, the initial scan completed, running for 30 seconds.

Move DK to the primary window and close (to save position).

Start DK.
* success, the initial scan completed, running for 30 seconds.

An observation: while DK was starting, I was staring at Process Explorer.  It
showed "C:\Program Files\digiKam\snoretoast.exe" ran for a few seconds and
closed.  Probably some magic DK does under the hood.


Windows EventLog mentions log files around the same time - possibly related. 
Please let me know if I can email them to you (I prefer not to post them in a
public way).
I can try to record DubugView trace if it helps.


Thank you!
