ESP32-CAM fails to start-up repeat message

I've been building various projects with the ESP32-CAM AI thinker module. I have been doing this for a while now with no problems. Recently I changed my PC to a newer one with Windows 11and installed Arduino IDE from scratch.
I then took an existing working module and added code that allowed OTA programming.
The module is removed from the board and programs ok. When I plug it back in I get this error message repeat ad infinitum.

assertion "state == EntryState::WRITTEN || state == EntryState::EMPTY" failed: file "/home/runner/work/esp32-arduino-lib-builder/esp32-arduino-lib-builder/esp-idf/components/nvs_flash/src/nvs_page.cpp", line 339, function: esp_err_t nvs::Page::eraseEntryAndSpan(size_t)

The same message occurs with various modules of the same type.

I have reverted back to earlier versions of software and the same message occurs.

I have plugged a module into what Amazon refer to as a Burner Shield and the board works fine - no error messages. In order to do this however I have had to cut out the PIR handling code - so in the hardware configuration it isn't doing what I want, so I need it working in the original board.

I made up a little programming board myself. The only connections are 5v, GND, TX, RX. This module worked perfectly ok until now.

The only thing that I can think of is that I used a different library when setting up Arduino IDE or that Windows 11 doesn't work the same.

Any help would be appreciated.
ps I have trimmed the software right down to use minimal code but it still repeats the same message

You can open an issue to notify developers that there is some incompatibility with Windows 11.

Can you not load even a simple blink sketch ?

If you want to raise an issue, do so with Espressif, they produce and support the ESP32 Core for the Arduino IDE;
