Windows 11 Gaming Fix: Microsoft Lifts Assassin's Creed Upgrade Ban After Patch

Windows 11 24H2 Gaming Issues Resolved: Ubisoft Releases Critical Patches

Ubisoft has successfully addressed compatibility issues affecting popular titles on Windows 11 24H2, releasing patches for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Origins. These updates resolve crashes, freezes, and audio problems that plagued players since the operating system’s update.

The issue initially prompted Microsoft to block Windows 24H2 upgrades on systems with Assassin’s Creed titles, Star Wars Outlaws, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Users reported various problems, including:
– Unresponsive game launches
– Loading screen failures
– Gameplay interruptions
– Black screen occurrences

Microsoft has now lifted all safeguard holds following Ubisoft’s intervention. The company confirms that Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, Origins, and Valhalla are fully compatible with Windows 11 24H2. Users can expect the update to become available through Windows Update within 48 hours, with system restarts potentially accelerating the process.

While Microsoft proceeds with forced Windows 11 24H2 rollouts for eligible systems, some restrictions remain for devices with:
– Auto HDR enabled
– Dirac audio software
– Asphalt 8 (Airborne)
– Specific ASUS devices
– Integrated cameras
– Safe Exam Browser
– Easy Anti-Cheat applications
