Sure thing, here is a sysinfo screenshot that corresponds with what you posted.
Here's the sound (which is indeed Intel):

-Edit: Adding what I have found to be the fix below my original post content
-Edit 2: It seems that my fix did not work for someone else reporting the same problem. My issues seemed to go away after updating my lock screen settings, but this does not seem to be a guaranteed fix.
Hello,
Shortly after updating to 24H2 on Windows 11 Pro, I've had extremely detrimental issues where the only fix I can find is to force a reboot of my device. I am on a domain joined Dell XPS 15 9500. Hoping someone might have an idea on what I might be able to try to fix these issues
Things I've tried:
I have one other person on our domain who experienced the issue with the UAC prompt locking up Windows 11 Pro, which leads me to believe that this may not be a problem with my device. The laptops are of different makes as well.

My Answer: From what we can tell from testing, I believe the issue was somehow caused by windows spotlight being selected for the lock screen. I'm not quite sure why. But me and the other person experiencing this both had the issue go away after changing our lock screen to a static image. This looks to have resolved both the UAC freezing issue and the black-screen lock screen issue.
I'm not sure if he also used to have a static image before the update changed it windows spotlight, or if the windows spotlight is running into issues for other reasons. Everything seems normal now though so I'm going to leave my lock screen as a static image and monitor other users to see if they have similar problems

Dual gpu. Fancy that.
Same problem here. The freezes are happening unpredictably and not are not bound to specific programs beeing elevated.
My system is up-to-date.
Also experiencing this on 24H2 after opening Windows Terminal - doesn't seem to be related to spotlight for me.
FYI someone has opened a GitHub issue and I have linked it to this thread for reference
Having the same problem. It's a nasty problem, Windows freezes completely when the UAC prompt would be shown. How can an application completely freezes Windows like that?
Just saw that the Github issue (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/18428) was closed due to no activity.
