Microsoft says apps using DirectX are crashing on Windows systems after installing cumulative updates released in November 2022 because of an Intel graphics driver bug.
Until an update addressing this issue is released, Microsoft says that affected customers can temporarily work around it by updating their Intel GPU driver to a newer version.
"To mitigate this issue, you can install an Intel graphics driver with a later version than 30.0.101.1190," the company adds in a Windows Health dashboard update.
"It is recommended to check your Windows device manufacturer's support for the latest version of the Intel graphics driver for your device."
If you cannot download an update directly from your device's maker, you can also check the List of Drivers for Intel Graphics to install the latest graphics driver released by Intel.
Last month, Redmond also fixed a bug causing Remote Desktop app freezes on Windows 11 devices after installing the Windows 11 2022 Update and shared a temporary fix for an issue causing the Windows Start menu to become unresponsive and some apps to no longer launch.
