Let me guess, related to an anti-piracy thing that get its hands way too deep into the kernel? 🙄
- Guess again
  Microsoft is blocking the Windows 11 24H2 update on computers with some Ubisoft games, like Assassin's Creed, Star Wars Outlaws, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, after changes in the operating system cause the games to crash, freeze, or have audio issues.
  
  My money's still on Denuvo being the root cause.
  
  I don't see how that statement refutes the problem being something to do with kernal level access. It's entirely possible that the 24H2 update changed something that is playing poorly with the DRM in these titles.
  
  ???
  The kernel is part of the operating system.
  This is like saying "Think again! The car mechanic said the car's engine suffered a failure," as a retort to someone asking if a faulty spark plug is the cause of the car not working.
