Microsoft has finally acknowledged that the latest Windows 11 22H2 update is causing severe performance drops in some games. By now, Nvidia, AMD, and Microsoft have been passing the buck to each other, but finally Redmond admits they are already working on a solution.
To put you in the background, after releasing version 22H2 of its new operating system, Nvidia warned that new operating system GPU debugging tools were creating performance issues in many games when they used their cards. In fact, the company released a new, updated driver package to alleviate the problem, with little success.
Microsoft recommends not updating manually until they release a new update
Now and almost two months later, those from Redmond have made a post on their official blog where they validate the previous analysis that Nvidia dropped. You can imagine the grace this has done to users as a server, which has suffered inexplicable flickering and frame drops in games like Halo Infinite.
The fact is that Americans They blocked the update to Windows 11 22H2 on computers that have not yet been updated and have an Nvidia or AMD card ready to play. The criteria have not been specified, but we assume that it will be high-performance gaming equipment.
Some games and applications may experience slower than expected performance or stutter in Windows 11, version 22H2. Affected games and applications inadvertently enable GPU performance debugging features that are not intended for consumer use.
To protect your upgrade experience, we have suspended the compatibility of devices affected by this issue so that they are not offered or installed with Windows 11, version 22H2.
The American company recommends waiting and not manually updating this edition. At least not until they fix the problem and then unlock the update again from Windows Update. If you had the misfortune to be hit, the Americans leave us this temporary solution to the problem.
If you are already using Windows 11, version 22H2 and are experiencing this issue, you may be able to resolve it by updating your games and game-related apps to the latest available version. If you don’t know how to update the games and apps you have installed, you’ll need to check with the developer of those games and apps, but most will update automatically through the store they were purchased from or directly when you open to them.
So, for now, we have to wait for them to provide us with a new fix for the problem. My advice is to try updating to the latest drivers for your graphics card.
