Win + Shift + Arrow Key shortcut causes rendering issues and crashes

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

Used RetroArch for the first time ever on steam and wanted to change the screen it was on with the Win + Shift + Arrow Key shortcut and then my pc crashed with the error VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR 0x119 and restarted automatically. Tested it out with the nightly version too and it crashed too. After some tests i figured out it only crashed when the refresh rate of my monitors didn't match (one was 240hz and the other one was 60hz). Video attached shows how it looks when both monitors are set to 60hz. when changing one back to 240hz and trying the same thing it crashes. i have no games installed added no cores and didn't change any settings. It also only happens when it's in fullscreen.

Reproduce the issue on Windows 11 with mismatched monitor refresh rates, fullscreen mode, and the Win + Shift + Arrow shortcut. Start by tracing the win32 display path and D3D11 initialization shown in the log. Done means switching screens no longer causes rendering corruption or a VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR crash.
