Microsoft has acknowledged the issue affecting Windows 11 21H2, which was identified after the release of update KB5023774, which was released just today. After installing this update with this version of Windows 11 Red Dead Redemption 2 suffers from a bug that prevents it from executing from the Rockstar rocket launcher.

Redmond Giant you didn’t explain exactly why this error occurs on Windows 11 21H2 after installing this update, limited to an error description that indicates that this error occurs while running Red Dead Redemption 2 and that the play button will change to “loading” and the play option will appear again after failure.

We have only one option to solve this problem right now and that is upgrade to Windows 11 22H2. This is a problem in itself, as this update has also been causing problems since its release. I know that in theory most of the problems were fixed by the KB5020044 update that came out in mid-December, but it’s a version that doesn’t have the same maturity as 21H2, and in the end it poses some risk.

Microsoft is already investigating what happened, so it is possible that sooner or later they will end up releasing a patch or introducing a solution that allows you to solve this problem without having to update to Windows 11 22H2. If you are having problems with Red Dead Redemption 2 on Windows 11 21H2 right now, you only have two options, wait for patch release or upgrade to Windows 11 22H2.

There is no doubt that this is further evidence that Microsoft needs to do something with their update model, because it is not normal that whenever they release a new patch or a new semi-annual update, they come out of the testing phase with serious problems that have not been identified and end users end up he suffers in his body. These are not “beta testers”. and hope that when an update arrives for their operating system, which is one of the pillars of every PC, it will work properly.

I know that releasing properly optimized updates with guaranteed compatibility for different types of PCs configured with different hardware It’s complicated, but Microsoft chose this model, and it is about time that it is able to offer a minimum of updates with an acceptable level of quality and without serious bugs in its final versions.
