This is old news.   There have been issues with Nvidia drivers for awhile. On the Nvidia forum mostly during games.  Plus many of these users have made changes to GPUs setting including overclocking.  I have seen complaints from people using 3000 series and even 2000 and 1000.  I have 3070ti with studio 572.83 driver and haven’t had any issues.

Does anyone have a 1650 with Studio 572.83 driver on Windows 10 22H2 with no issues?

How do you tell if you are using 572 drivers? Mine is listed as 32.0.15.5612 – and working as expected.

@Paul-T

Look at the last five digits of the driver version you mentioned, putting a decimal between the first 3 and last 2 digits and that’s your actual Nvidia driver version number.

So, in this case, you’re running version 556.12.

Wow! Never have worked that one out.
