The latest Windows 11 update fixes game crash woes for some users

An optional Windows 11 update addresses a handful of issues for some users who are experiencing game crashes or are unable to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11. It's part of the June 2022 monthly updates for Insiders, who can check out the fix before it's released en masse on July 12th for all.

According to a blog post from Microsoft, the update "addresses an issue that might prevent you from upgrading to Windows 11 (original release)." The post also notes that what's preventing the upgrade isn't a device eligibility issue but related to certain operation timings in the OS.
