They were automatic updates that I had no choice but to have installed, too. I've tried rolling them back to no avail. They stay installed. It's as if the patch was actually a worm that's causing connection issues no matter what I'm using on the computer. Microsoft needs to patch this ASAP. It is crippling entire communities and companies. Completely unsat.

2022-01-14T11:51:37+00:00 Hello:
Cumulative updates KB5008876 and KB5009543 completely broke my gaming experience.
I really have no idea how or why, but all my games ran smoothly right before these updates and now they are literally unplayable.
Choppy frame rates or flat out frame freezes for up to 3 seconds, audio clipping/skipping, horrible, horrible lag.
Please fix this! Thank you!
