[BUG] GPU-PV broken for Windows 11 24H2

[dj-vandijk]

Describe the bug
We're using the GPU-PV functionality of AKS-Edge and this has been working great for us so far. However after updating one of our machines to Windows 11 24H2 (coming from 23H2) the nvidia-device-plugin no longer seems to be working. It fails to start with the error:

Error: failed to create containerd task: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error running hook #0: error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: Auto-detected mode as 'legacy' nvidia-container-cli: initialization error: nvml error: unable to load the nvml library: unknown

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Windows 11 24H2
2. Follow the GPU acceleration guide from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/aksarc/aks-edge-gpu
3. observe the error "unable to load the nvml library"

Environment (please complete the following information):

• AKS Edge Essentials Version: 1.9.262.0
• Kubernetes version 1.29.6
• Windows Host OS
  • Edition: Professional
  • Version: 24H2 build 26100.3476
• NVIDIA RTX A5000
• NVIDIA driver 572.83
