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

    Went back to a clean install of Windows 10 22H2 over Windows 11 24H2 till the incompetent people at Microsoft fix their stuff and not use their customers as public testers/debuggers. This is unacceptable, bricking systems and even forcing bugged and broken updates. Do better. One move in the right direction would be to extend Windows 10 EOL, then we can talk further.

    Hello,

    i just came back to say i accidentally upgraded to 24h2 March Edition and games were crashing again.

    I have only two left which i need to play on Win11 Fortnite and Inzoi. Everything else is running fine on Linux Cachy.

    Fortnite is still crashing while using DX12 but not in performance mode which is DX11 probably.

    Inzoi had no crashes so far and the only thing missing in Linux is Dlss at this point. Also the AI feature but it also unavailable for RTX 2000 cards
