This happens in both C# and C++ according to the report, but what's the link between OS and compiler here?

As far as I remember from days when I used Windows, the version of your visual studio (which has the compiler and standard libraries) was not related to the build of your operating system

Microsoft moved to a Universal CRT (UCRT) around Windows 10, both C# and C++ are calling into the OS UCRT there.
One bug to rule them all...
Probably isn't a link between the OS and compiler. the OS kernel is responsible for saving and restoring the floating-point environment every time there's a context switch, my hypothesis is that something went wrong there.
