24H2 crashing games - working on a fix?

It seems to be a known issue but seeing as there are no fixes yet, maybe you need more people to bring up the problem.

Ever since the 24H2 update, games have been freezing up the entire computer, forcing a hard-reboot with no other solutions.

And yes, I've tried re-installing/updating graphics driver, and pretty much every solution offered so far with no avail (some mention turning off Auto-HDR, some mention disabling multi-threading options in-game, etc.).

The only solution on specific game, POE2, that has worked is playing it on DirectX11 instead of DirectX12.

Apparently the issue is easily resolved by rolling back to 23H2, but instead of the users having to resort to finding a way to downgrade their updates, is there a fix coming from Windows any time soon?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    Same problem
    I've been waiting for a ***** month and nothing
    My Windows simply doesnt let me roll back the update and my computer does not have HDR support (some users found out that turning the HDR off could help)
    This OS is a joke

    I tried that but it did not work for me. I had to roll back to 23H2 to resolve the issues (playing COD).

    Microsoft and many other companies have adopted the "self checkout" business model. It goes like this...at our grocery stores we now have self checkouts, meaning they rely a good deal on the customer to complete the shopping process. We also have big companies like Microsoft, Bohemia, ect. who rely on the customer to find, report, and sometimes even solve any post-launch issues. For example... Bohemia recently launched the new 1.26 update for DayZ, yet the Types.xml files that contains the list and parameters of every item in the game was missing items and also contained tons of errors....which left thousands of server owners going behind Bohemia and repairing the mistakes. This is one of the most profitable business model in modern economics, but they lose out big time on customer satisfaction, and ease-of-use of the products.

    This worked for me on 24H Windows 11 machine, it's not foolproof but it works for about 80% of my game time
