Sunshine crashes during autostart (Windows boot) causing AMD graphics driver timeout/crash

I'm too lazy to test

### Describe the Bug

Sunshine crashes during Windows startup, triggering an AMD graphics driver crash or timeout. As a result, Sunshine enters a non-functional state: streaming is not possible, the host appears "offline", and the configuration web interface is inaccessible.

Workaround:
Manually closing Sunshine from the system tray and restarting it via sunshine.exe restores full functionality.
Disabling Sunshine's autostart also prevents the AMD driver crash/timeout from occurring.

### Expected Behavior

- Working sunshine with autostart
- No AMD graphics driver crash/timeout

### Additional Context

- The issue does not occur when using AMD driver version 23.3.1.
- I have also reported the issue to AMD.
- I’ve tested different display configurations, but the issue persists.

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing Sunshine autostart on Windows 11 with the reported AMD RX 9070 and driver version, then trace the startup logs around display and encoder initialization. Done means Sunshine starts without triggering the graphics-driver timeout, remains online, and exposes its web interface.
