Microsoft Finally Unblocks Windows 11 Update for Easy Anti-Cheat Users – Let the Games Begin!
Microsoft has lifted the Windows 11 update block for Easy Anti-Cheat users after fixing a bug that triggered blue screens of death. Now, gamers can enjoy an upgrade without the fear of their systems crashing mid-battle. Just remember, if your PC still bluescreens, it’s probably not a feature!
Hot Take:
Microsoft is finally playing nice with gamers! It seems the tech giant decided that a blue screen of death was a bit too on-the-nose for a game over screen. After wrestling with Easy Anti-Cheat issues, they’ve lifted the ban on Windows 11 updates, proving once again that when Microsoft says “game on,” they mean it—literally.
Key Points:
- Microsoft had a compatibility hold on Windows 11 updates due to BSOD errors caused by Easy Anti-Cheat.
- An emergency update (KB5063060) was released to fix the issue.
- The update block was removed on July 24, 2025.
- Older Easy Anti-Cheat versions won’t trigger BSOD unless part of a game.
- Past compatibility holds for AutoCAD and Safe Exam Browser were also lifted.
