I reformatted my PC twice to confirm the source of the problem—and I can confirm with certainty: it’s not a driver, it’s not hardware, it’s Windows 25H2 itself, buggy!
I followed all the recommended procedures: updating drivers, verifying integrity, performing a clean reinstall, and even trying to manually remove the update. The result? The system won’t allow the removal, citing certificates and internal dependencies. In other words, the user is stuck with a faulty update.
With Windows without 25H2, everything works normally. As soon as the update is installed, the errors begin: messages like “game not supported” or “driver missing” appear, even with all drivers properly installed and updated.
The affected games are all from the Microsoft Store, including Forza Horizon 3, Forza Horizon 7, and others. The behavior is always the same: a warning appears informing about a missing driver, but if ignored, the game opens and runs normally.
In other words—the error is purely Windows-related, not the game’s fault, nor the hardware’s fault. It’s ridiculous that the system flags a non-existent problem and then forces the user to deal with the alert every time they launch the game.
With each new update, Windows becomes more unstable, slower, and less compatible. It’s shocking how a company the size of Microsoft can compromise its own platform, breaking compatibility with its own games and services.
Microsoft, fix this.
Stop pushing faulty updates and test what you’re releasing. Those who buy and play through official channels aren’t free beta testers—they’re customers, and they deserve respect.
I’ll send screenshots of the errors reported by other forum users later.
