Windows 11 Update 24H2 Causes Game Crashes and Dell Laptop Shutdown Issues

Microsoft confirms widespread issues with Ubisoft games and Dell encryption software after the latest Windows 11 update rollout.

Windows 11 version 24H2 has been reported to cause Ubisoft games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Star Wars Outlaws to crash or become unresponsive.
Microsoft has implemented a compatibility block preventing the update on systems with affected Ubisoft games installed, advising users not to manually upgrade.
Dell laptops with older versions of the Dell Encryption app are unable to hibernate or shut down properly after the update, requiring users to install version 11.10 or later to resolve the issue.
Additional problems include Dolby Digital sound not functioning on fresh installations and USB scanner devices experiencing compatibility issues.
Microsoft and Ubisoft are collaborating on fixes for the gaming issues, while Dell has issued guidance for resolving the encryption software conflict.
