ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) GA605 Realtek Sound Driver Problem after Updating to Windows 11 25H2

Hello guys. I am having problem with 25H2 update. After updating windows, explorer.exe started crashing. It always crashes and makes it impossible to use the computer. I stopped explorer.exe from the task manager and tried to diagnose the problem. I noticed that when I disable realtek sound driver explorer started working well. If I enable realtek sound driver it starts crashing again. Then I tried to update sound driver to fix the issue. Latest driver I could find is 6.0.9885.1 but it did not fix the issue. I could not find the solution and reverted back to 24H2 version and paused windows updates. There is no 25H2 compatible drive in asus website:

It says Windows 11 24H2 under Realtek Audio Driver.

Now I am looking for a solution on this matter. Any suggestions ?
