[SOLVED][Win11] Loading screen stuck at Loading Sprites 50%

[iranoth]

Greetings,

updating my drivers, reinstalling the game, downgrading to an older game version, staring with the steam launch options "--gfx-safe-mode", deleting all Mods - nothing worked
the last lines in the factorio-current.log always was

3.441 Texture processor created (2048). GPU accelerated compression Supported: yes, Enabled: NO/NO.
3.444 Parallel sprite loader initialized (threads: 15, bitmaps: 8398)
211.858 Closed during loading.

Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling was enabled in the Win11 options tho.
Turned it off and that solved the problem for me.
I hope this may be helpful for others.
