I have a 2080TI. You are correct about this being a recent update issue.
I also noticed a lot more crashes after the last 2 updates. Which graphics card are you using? I tracked down a possible driver issue on nVidia 2060RTX. The internal error is "Cuda error at cuCtxCreate: Illegal Address" This also happens in Blender after rendering for a long time and especially when video is playing in another window. A workaround for devs is to recreate the iRay context when this exception is thrown, once this exception is thrown the Cuda context is invalid and cannot resume.
