Microsoft confirmed that Windows updates released on August 11, 2026 (KB5121003 and later) are causing some games on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 to crash, freeze, or fail to launch. The issue appears linked to drivers or components installed by RGB peripherals (file names similar to inpoutx64.sys); Microsoft is investigating while Embark Studios provided a temporary workaround to remove the inpoutx64 driver until an official fix is released.
