Microsoft has acknowledged performance issues in Windows 11 22H2 when running games on PCs and has blocked the update for affected PCs until a fix is ​​released.

As soon as Windows 11 22H2 came out in September, users started to take notice gaming and other performance issues related to the new feature update. Those using NVIDIA graphics cards were the first to complain. The green giant blamed Microsoft and specifically the new GPU tuning tools in this version. Despite NVIDIA trying to fix the problem with a new set of drivers, the problems persisted. And yes, he was right.

Two months later, Microsoft finally acknowledged the issue and confirmed that NVIDIA had correctly evaluated the underlying problem. “Some games and applications may experience slower than expected performance or stuttering on Windows 11 22H2″they say from the Redmond company.

If you already have a version installed and are experiencing these issues “you can resolve this by updating your games and game-related apps to the latest version available from the software developer or by using automatic updates through the store they were purchased from (such as Steam)”says Microsoft. We doubt this is the solution, but it is…

Windows 11 22H2 and its multiple crashes

In fact and for “ensure the upgrade experience”, Microsoft has blocked Windows 11 22H2 as part of the “compatibility hold” program. (Protection ID 41766570 and 41990091). This is the fifth failure for this build, after failing to capture the Xbox Game Bar, blue screens, another printing issue, and Windows Hello. There was also performance degradation when copying large files over SMB and other minor bugs.

Not all computers affected by these failures will receive the update on Windows Update, and Microsoft recommends that you do not force it through known methods, either over the web via media creation or using clean installs.

When we insist on postponing upgrades to Windows 11 as a measures necessary to limit potential errors, you know the reasons. Microsoft fixes bugs and causes more with every update, randomly and without checking. If you’re running production PCs or can’t afford these bugs, it’s much better to stay on Windows 10 and wait for better stability in Windows 11. Or go straight to Windows 12. We’ll see.
