Again, a Windows 11 update is causing problems in games

causing, Games, problems, update, Windows

The latest updates of the new Microsoft operating system are a constant disaster, generating thousands of problems. It was found that the cumulative update November 2022 Windows 10 and Windows 11, causes problems. More specifically, it generates a DirectX and Direct3D malfunction with devices that use Intel products.

One of the premises of Windows 11 and the latest updates of this operating system is optimization for games. Supposedly it should offer better performance than Windows 10, but the reality is different. Even, Microsoft stopped the October rollup because it was causing great instability in games.

New issues after Windows 11 update

Microsoft’s new operating system was developed specifically for the new Intel processors. The design of these processors has been changed to have a design similar to ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture. This new operating system was not well received due to the large limitations in terms of the processors it supports.

as he says Microsoft in an official note there is a large issue In Windows 10 and 11 which makes malfunctions in games. The good thing is that the problem is limited to Intel graphics cards associated with certain drivers.

DirectX and Direct3D have problems operating normally with Intel graphics products. It seems there is a dll filespecifically the “app helpgenerates an error. This causes graphical issues when running games, which may not display properly.

Windows 11 problem games

Microsoft states the following in this regard:

After installing KB5019980 with finer details on Win11 devices, apphelp.dll errors may be encountered on Windows devices using Intel graphics driver versions 26.20.100.7463 to 30.0.101.1190.

This issue may occur intermittently and affect DirectX or Direct3D applications, causing some or all of the content to display incorrectly.

Solution:

To resolve this issue, you can install an Intel graphics driver version later than 30.0.101.1190. It is recommended to verify that your Windows device manufacturer supports the latest version of the Intel graphics driver for your device.

If they don’t provide drivers after 30.0.101.1190, you can refer to the Intel graphics driver list for how to download and install the latest Intel graphics drivers directly from Intel.

At least it’s something quite curious

It’s still funny that an operating system created for Intel products does not work well with these components. Well, admittedly it seems to be some sort of driver compatibility issue, something that is always possible. But, that Microsoft is the one pointing out the problem, it means that the update is not good.

This also affects Windows 10, but it bleeds more into Windows 11, which is supposed to be a gaming-focused system. We already remembered that the 22H2 update had to be stopped due to poor performance in games.

Note that years ago Microsoft changed the update checking policy. Now they are tested in a first phase in virtual machines that simulate different variables, then in a second phase in the Insiders program. Note that many participants in this program usually report most of the issues disclosed and Microsoft does not fix them before releasing the update.
