Microsoft has announced that it has applied a compatibility hold that prevents devices with certain Ubisoft games installed from installing Windows 11 version 24H2 via the Windows Update release channel. These games, per a list of known issues for Windows 11 that can be found on Microsoft’s Learn site, include not only three Assassin’s Creed games, but also Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars Outlaws, the new action-adventure game from Massive Entertainment that Ubisoft launched in August 2024. Ubisoft has already released a temporary mitigation for Star Wars Outlaws to prevent the game from “failing and stop responding.”

Affected games:

  • Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
  • Assassin’s Creed Origins
  • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
  • Star Wars Outlaws
  • Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, you might encounter issues with some Ubisoft games. These games might become unresponsive while starting, loading or during active gameplay. In some cases, users might receive a black screen. To safeguard your Windows update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on devices with these games installed.
