page, the update has two major known gaming-related issues: Asphalt 8 occasionally crashes after installing the update, while users running a version of the Easy Anti-Cheat app released before April 2024 get a ‘MEMORY_MANAGEMENT’ BSOD error.

Nevertheless, we’re still glad that

recognizes these issues. We expect the company to release a fix for this update in the coming days, so, hopefully, Asphalt 8 and online multiplayer fans can get back to gaming with the latest version of Windows 11 on their gaming PCs.
