No Windows 11 2022 update: Microsoft stops distribution of gaming PCs


from Claus Ludewig
Microsoft has reacted and stopped the rollout of the Windows 11 2022 update for the time being. The background to this are numerous reports of less performance in games.

Around the release of Windows 11 in October 2021, Microsoft announced that there would be an optional and free feature update for users once a year in the future. The rollout of Windows 11 version 22H2 started on World Children’s Day on September 20th. Microsoft offers the update as Windows 11 2022 Update. However, the new operating system version is being rolled out in waves, so not all Windows 11 users will receive the update immediately. PC gamers will no longer receive the new OS version for the time being Microsoft has stopped distribution.

Victims can do that

Some PC games may experience stuttering or slower than expected performance. According to Microsoft, GPU debugging functions were inadvertently activated in the affected video games. If you have an affected game installed on your computer, you can no longer update to Windows 11 2022 Update for the time being. Microsoft will only remove this update block again once the problems have been eliminated.

If you have already updated to Windows 11 2022 Update, it is recommended to install the latest version of the respective PC games and graphics card drivers in order to be able to access full performance again. At the time the article was created, Microsoft did not list the affected PC games.
