Windows 11 and EA/The Sims Stopped Working?
On EA's forum, someone with a `python37_x64.dll` crash on a 14th-gen Intel i9 reported it stopped after a CPU microcode update (The Sims 4 Keeps Crashing Since Mandatory Memory Boost | EA Forums - 13604432).

Windows Server Essentials 2016 Thinks USB WiFi adapter might be boot device
Because it only happens after a full shutdown, it's likely the Wi-Fi adapter is showing up to the firmware as a virtual CD drive that holds its Windows driver, which many USB Wi-Fi adapters do when they first get power.
