Windows 11 Update Blocks Ubisoft Games Due to Crashes and Black Screens

Microsoft halts its 24H2 update rollout for PCs with affected Ubisoft titles while working on a fix with Ubisoft.

The Windows 11 24H2 update is causing issues with Ubisoft games, including crashes, black screens, and unresponsiveness during gameplay.
Affected games include Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Microsoft has implemented a compatibility hold, preventing the update's automatic rollout to systems with these games installed to avoid further disruptions.
Ubisoft has released a temporary hotfix for Star Wars Outlaws, but performance issues persist while a permanent solution is developed.
Users are advised not to manually install the update, and those already affected can roll back to a previous Windows version or use Task Manager to close unresponsive games.
