Reproduce darktable 5.6.0 on Windows 11 by opening the application and a RAW file, then inspect the attached darktable-log.txt and issue with darktable 5.6.0.zip. Confirm the crash context and gather the missing system and GPU details; done means the failure is reproducible and its cause or a targeted fix is established.
