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

    The reason why windows is adapted as the main os comes out of playing games. Take away the gaming experience that’s taking away the reason to use win11. It should be a top priority to fix this issue it has been many weeks. At least give us a patch so you can rollback this update.

    Hi Belisarius, could you please provide the version details for the following?

    • Windows 10 Pro (23H2, 22H2, or any other relevant versions)
    • Nvidia Driver Version :
    • AMD Driver Version :
    • DirectX Version (11, 12, etc.) (Drivers?)

    Also, if there are any other important changes or details that could help, please let me know, as I’ve been facing this issue since November 2024.
