I found this post that describes a similar problem, but they are using a decade old GPU so their problem is solved by something that does not work for me.
I have an RTX 3090 on the latest Nvidia driver (552.22) so it doesn't make any sense why this would be happening:

I never once clicked the cancel button, it is just canceling itself for no reason, I don't know what's happening.
I have performance counters set to all users, and I don't see why voltage control wouldn't work (the voltage control is set to "standard MSI"). The scan can sometimes get as high as 5% before it just cancels itself, even if I'm not touching my computer at all, even slightly, even if I leave my mouse pointer within the window, etc.
What's going on, how do I fix this?
