### Windows version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26200.8328]

### Additional context

Only happens when running `brave` with no flags. Running `brave --ozone-platform=wayland` seems to be fine.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash with the listed xanmod kernel, Arch Linux, WSL2, and a default `brave` launch; compare it with `brave --ozone-platform=wayland`. Review the linked dmesg and Brave command output first. Done means the default launch no longer blacks the display or triggers the AMD driver crash.
