Microsoft is now blocking the Windows 11 2022 Update from being offered on some systems because of compatibility issues with the Xbox Game Bar Capture feature.
"You are more likely to encounter this issue when using the 'Record last 30 seconds' feature when 'Record in the background while I'm playing game' is enabled in Xbox Game Bar," Microsoft explains in a new Windows health dashboard entry.
"Apps which capture or process video files using the same underlying Windows libraries or APIs as Xbox Game Bar might also be affected by this issue."
Microsoft has added a compatibility hold that only applies to systems that have previously used the capture feature in the Xbox Game Bar app.
Until the fix rolls out to all Windows users, Redmond advises customers not to manually install Windows 11 22H2 on affected devices using the Media Creation Tool or the 'Update now' button until the safeguard is removed.
Since the Windows 11 2022 Update was released, Microsoft has added three other update blocks to prevent the upgrade from being offered due to blue screens, printing, and Windows Hello issues.
