Windows blocks Ubisoft games, what happened?

blocks, Games, happened, Ubisoft, Windows

Ubisoft It is one of the most criticized companies as many claim that all their games arrive with enough insects to the stores, so a good part of the responsibility for the crisis they are going through is surely caused by problems that they themselves generate. But it must be said that what has happened recently is not precisely attributable to the Parisian promoter, because it gives the impression that on this occasion it is Windows the one that causes the most errors and problems.

It's also been a long time since we learned that an operating system update caused so many errors or that, at least, someone started to advise against its installation given the inconveniences it generates, in this case in a good handful of important titles. Ubisoft. So if you saw the alert that you have a update which may be installed on your operating system, do not pay attention to it for now. Let's say why.

Windows and its most recent update are killing Ubisoft games

This could be the world title of what's happening with some games of Ubisoft in which Microsoft came to confirm that the update of Windows 11 24H2 (that is, the one that corresponds to the second part of the year and was released a few weeks ago) presents serious compatibility problems, with instabilities when running it, black screens and responses slow or non-existent when you ask the game what to do.

And don't think that we are faced with failures in small games, since a good part of the library of Ubisoft more modern is involved, with many Assassin's Creed or, one of the most recent titles, Star Wars Outlawsthat the poor man has already made his way until the French, finally, seem to have left him in conditions. So, just when everything seemed to be going well, this Windows 11 24H2 update appeared. As they say, “everything is fleas to a weak dog.”

Of course, to avoid greater evils, Microsoft has decided to take a rather judicious step at this point, that is, on computers where it detects the presence of these affected games, it blocks the update so that it is not applied, until so that he has greater certainty of where the errors are. this causes games of. Ubisoft stop working as they should. So if you have any of these names on your computer, for now, don't even try searching for the update even if your PC is very old.

Blocked until further notice

As we tell you, since it is an error located at a specific point, which dates from the moment we installed the update 24H2 of Windows 11Since Microsoft wanted to avoid greater evils and provoke angry criticism from fans who play with the titles of Ubisoft. So on that side we have to give credit to Redmond for a quick response to not cause more damage than is strictly necessary and which they describe as “these games might stop responding on startup, loading or during active play.

The list of affected games is not small, but among the most notable we have Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws Yes Avatar: Pandora's Borders. There, it's nothing.
