Windows 10: How can I stop DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION from causing a BSOD?

For the past two years, I've been dealing with a recurring BSOD Blue Screen of Death error called DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. It typically occurs shortly after I first boot up my PC. Once the crash happens, it rarely occurs again during that session, but as soon as I shut down and restart the computer, the issue reappears.I recently downloaded an application called BlueScreenView to analyze the crash dumps, but I don't fully understand the technical details as I'm not an IT specialist. The error code associated with the crash is 0x00000133.My PC is currently running Windows 11, but I experienced

Those steps are not relevant to me. In those steps it asks to check the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers for iastore.sys in the listed drivers.

I do not have iastore as a driver nor is that the files causing the BSOD.

The driver that is causing it (I got this from BlueScreenView) is nvstore.sys which is listed as the driver for three identical items in 'storage controllers' There are 4 items there. 3 of them are called NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller. Those three
all list this nvstore.sys as their driver.

I suspect that if I could replace or fix that driver it would solve the issue based on the advice given by Annanya. Does that sound right? If so, how would I go about it?
