Windows 11 24H2 Update Faces Widespread Audio and Gaming Issues

Microsoft confirms critical bugs in its latest update, leading to blocked installations and user frustrations.

The Windows 11 24H2 update has been plagued by two major issues: Auto HDR causing game crashes and incorrect colors, and audio failures on devices using Dirac Audio software.
Microsoft has implemented compatibility holds on affected systems, preventing them from receiving the update until fixes are available.
Users with Auto HDR enabled are advised to disable the feature to avoid game crashes and graphical glitches, with a fix currently in development.
The audio bug, linked to the cridspapo.dll file in Dirac Audio, has caused devices to lose sound functionality entirely, with no immediate workaround for affected users.
Additional issues reported include stuttering in games, driver malfunctions, and glitches in applications like Chrome and Ubisoft games, further complicating the rollout.
