Microsoft said it is working with Ubisoft to fix an issue in the latest Windows 11 update that caused some games to crash, and will pause the release of updates to devices with those games in the meantime. After users reported issues after installing the Windows 11 24H2 update, Microsoft confirmed this weekend that certain games may become unresponsive or display a black screen. This issue affects Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws, and Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier.
Ubisoft has released a temporary fix for Star Wars Outlaws, but some issues may still remain, Microsoft says. “To protect our customers’ Windows update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold to devices that have these games installed,” the company said in a support blog. “Windows 11 version 24H2 cannot be installed on these devices via the Windows Update release channel.” Additionally, “Until this issue is resolved, you cannot use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or Media Creation Tool.” We recommend that you do not manually update to version 24H2.
