Razer Blade Pro 2020 Windows 11 black screen flickering after wakeup

Hi, so I have the Blade Pro 17 2020 Late Edition. I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to 11. The problem already existed on Windows 10 but I was able to get around it by downgrading to outdated Nvidia drivers (436.06).

- Updated BIOS to 1.06
- Already on Dedicated GPU mode 120 Hz
- Disabled Hibernation
- Disabled Fast startup
- Disabled touchscreen in Device manager

After installation of the Windows 11, I also installed the latest drivers from Nvidia 511.65. And then the problem I had before started again. Whenever I wakeup the laptop from sleep I get the black screen with flickering and there is nothing I can do apart from pressing the power button for 4 seconds until the computer turns off. When there is a regular start, everything goes fine. I tried to downgrade to 497.09 drivers using DDU and the problem persisted.

I need help with this issue which is not Windows related because it happens on both 10 and 11.

I appreciate that you've performed all the related steps to resolve the laptop's display behavior. Please send me the device's serial number via PM so I can check its details and available updates. I'll be locking this thread to curb our conversation privately.
