Darktable 5.4 crashes the system on Windows 11

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones

Describe the bug

I recently updated darktable to 5.4. I imported new photos. When I select a collection -> folder which contains a lot of photos, my entire system (Windows 11) crashes immediately and completely and reboots as if the computer was just powered on.

Steps to reproduce

1. In collections module, click on a folder containing 10,000+ photos

Windows

What is the version of your OS?

Windows 11 Home 10.0.26100

Describe your system

Ryzen 7840HS, 32Gb RAM

I run darktable with OpenCL disabled, because that seems to have fixed other type of crash I had before.

Are you using OpenCL GPU in darktable?

No

Please provide additional context if applicable. You can attach files too, but might need to rename to .txt or .zip

No LUA scripts. Issue occurs without any development modules used.

Start by reproducing the crash in the Collections module by selecting a folder containing more than 10,000 photos on Windows 11 with OpenCL disabled. Investigate the resulting system reboot and determine the relevant failure evidence; done means the folder can be selected without crashing the system and the fix is covered by an appropriate regression test.
