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

    Coming up on a month after the update and still no patch. I held off on my PC until yesterday to finally do the 24H2 update and I've had nothing but DirectX crashes on games. I rolled back the update. With the amount of Windows users out there you would think they would have the bug fixed by now.

    Yes, as far as I know it's due to the 24H2 patch, people who have rolled back seems to have resolved the problem.

    Thank you, I'm familiar with the CPU and multi-threading workaround (and using deprecated DirectX11 works as well if your game supports that) but I'm looking for a proper fix from Windows since the whole point is why do we have to find all these "workarounds"methods instead of Microsoft fixing the root problem

    I'm having the exact same issue.

    Is Microsoft really working on a solution??

    Having to hard reset my pc is painful, recovery options aren't available to rollback to 23h2.
