Microsoft Pauses Windows 11 24H2 Update for PCs with Ubisoft Games

Incredibly, a problem has been found in Windows 11 24H2 again. However, this time the new version of the OS encountered a specific error that does not allow you to launch games from one particular studio.

In recent days, Microsoft has received many complaints from gamers who tried to launch Ubisoft games after the Windows 11 24H2 update. They simply froze on startup or during loading, or showed a black screen. The problem affected the following projects:

Microsoft even had to temporarily stop releasing Windows 11 24H2 for PCs with the listed games installed. You can download the update manually, but the company strongly advises against doing so. Meanwhile, Ubisoft has released the first update for Star Wars Outlaws to fix the bug, but the performance issue has not yet been resolved. The studio is currently working with Microsoft to completely eliminate the crashes.

As a reminder, the launch of Windows 11 24H2 turned out to be quite problematic. For example, the update broke the clipboard history and led to other errors.
