Agreed, that usually does the trick. Also, double-check your drivers through Device Manager, as outdated ones can cause those specific blue screens.

Can confirm. Yeah, and while you're in there, maybe check if Dell has any specific BIOS updates for your model since the upgrade.

Yeah, You could also try a clean install of Windows 11 instead of the upgrade, as that often resolves leftover driver conflicts.
