Microsoft is blocking the Windows 11 24H2 update on computers with some Ubisoft games, like Assassin's Creed, Star Wars Outlaws, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, after changes in the operating system cause the games to crash,

Microsoft blocked the Windows 11 24H2 update due to issues with USB-connected peripherals supporting the eSCL protocol. Gamers might face black screens during gameplay in specific Ubisoft titles after updating to Windows 11 24H2.

Windows 11 24H2 has just received an optional update which comes with some useful tweaks to the interface. This is patch KB5046740 and it’s in preview – so as ever, you might come across glitches if you install it – and the main changes on the desktop are applied to the taskbar and Start menu.

You can't change the time zone the usual way unless you have admin rights. Here's how to sneak past this glitch.

Microsoft has confirmed via a support document that there are some problems its aware of within Windows 11 24H2, an important Windows 11 update.

Windows 11 24H2 has been struggling with numerous problems since it released back in October, including network connectivity failures, broken keyboard shortcuts, and crashing Office apps. For many, the only fix so far has been to revert to a previous version of Windows 11.

Microsoft says a Windows 24H2 bug causes game audio to unexpectedly increase to full volume when using USB DAC sound systems.

Windows 11’s latest preview update streamlines the taskbar, enhances the Start menu, and fixes lingering bugs.
