Microsoft Stops Windows 11 Updates for Ubisoft Games
Microsoft has stopped delivering Windows 11 version 24H2 updates to PCs with certain Ubisoft games installed. The company made this decision after complaints that games from the Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed series crashed after the new Windows update. Microsoft said it is working with Ubisoft to find a solution, and in the meantime advised users not to manually install the Windows 11 24H2 update.
