So apparently, Microsoft's newest update to W11 a while ago broke a bunch of Steam games. It was so shit that they stopped pushing the update out

@Ronnie21093 stuff like this has happened before and it will surely happen again. I don't know how people get these updates so fast, I'm usually like a year behind

@beardalaxy Some people are stupid enough to keep automatic updates on or for some reason decide to update manually shortly after release.

@Ronnie21093 @beardalaxy aren't those ridiculously hard to disable tho? shit like group policy and registry, even with those I don't think I ever rid myself of that

@Cyrillic @Ronnie21093 I didn't change anything about updates on my latest install and I've never had an automatic one. I'll get a little toast popup saying it's time to update like once every couple days but that's it.

You can also use winutils and change updates that way extremely easily. For instance, just getting security updates or disabling updates entirely (not the greatest idea but sure).
