Microsoft says it’s withholding Windows 11 update version 24H2 from PCs with Ubisoft games like Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Star Wars Outlaws installed, as it’s crashing them.
Microsoft has stopped offering updates to Windows 11 version 24H2 on PCs that have certain Ubisoft games installed, Bleeping Computer reports. The company made the move after complaints that Star Wars Outlaws and games in the Assassin’s Creed series were crashing after installing the new Windows update. Microsoft confirmed the “compatibility hold” in a status update yesterday evening, and says it’s working with Ubisoft to find a fix.
Here is Microsoft’s description of the issue and games affected: > After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, you might encounter issues with some Ubisoft games. These games might become unresponsive while starting, loading or during active gameplay. In some cases, users might receive a black screen.
