Windows 11: The new 22H2 update caused a serious issue – What Microsoft responds to
Which affects gaming performance
The big 22H2 upgrade of Windows 11 has arrived a few weeks ago, but unfortunately, not without problems. From the first moment there were many reports of reduced performance, especially in gaming, with users trying to identify the cause of the problem, through discussions on social media and related forums. Now, Microsoft has finally acknowledged that there is indeed an issue.
Specifically, through the special page it has for the known issues of Windows, it confirmed that Windows 22H2 users may indeed experience reduced performance and stuttering in various applications and games . The reason, according to the company, is the following:
Some games and apps may perform slower than expected or stutter in Windows 11, version 22H2. Affected games and applications inadvertently enable debugging features to record GPU-related statistics that are not intended for consumers.
The temporary solution
Microsoft has indicated that it is working on a permanent fix that will come with an upcoming update. Until then, disable the prompt to install the 22H2 upgrade for users who haven’t already made the switch and might be affected. For the rest, he said:
If you’re already running Windows 11, version 22H2 and experiencing this issue, you may be able to resolve it by updating the affected games and apps to their latest available version. If you’re not sure how to update the games and apps you’ve installed, you should check with their developers, although most update automatically through the store they were purchased from or directly when you open them.
