Recent Windows 11 update is causing issues for popular games such as Battlefield 6 and Wardogs, according to user reports. The KB5124010 patch, released earlier this month and rolled out to the stable channel on Tuesday, is reported to crash games regardless of hardware. Microsoft acknowledged the problem, stating that the update was intended to improve game stability.
Users have reported that the update crashes Battlefield 6 just seconds after launch, with no error messages displayed. Uninstalling the KB5124010 update seems to resolve the issue for many users. Team17, the developer of Wardogs, confirmed the crashes and suggested uninstalling the update as the only workaround. One Reddit user suggested that the update might be clashing with EA's Javelin Anti Cheat program, which protects several EA games, including Battlefield, EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and others.
This is not the first time Microsoft has faced issues with buggy Windows updates causing games to crash.
