why does pvz just crash and is there a fix?

so i was trying to play Plants vs. Zombies: game of the year edition, but for some reason, the game will successfully get through the loading screen with no issue, but suddenly when i click play, where usually the title screen would appear, the game crashes and gives me this error:

the reason i dont report the issue to the developers of the game is because it was working just fine on my old windows 10 laptop which has way less power than my new windows 11 laptop, so im assuming that the issue lies within windows 11

i already tried so many things i may forget to count most of them, but to sum up those i can remember, i already tried several compatiblity modes, disabling data execution prevention, and reinstalling the game several times

i hope there is a fix, because pulling out my old broken laptop just for a game can be quite tedious
