Windows 11's August 2026 Patch Triggers Game Crashes on Some PCs

Microsoft's August 2026 Windows 11 update KB5121003, a mandatory patch that fixes hundreds of security issues, is causing game crashes on some PCs—most notably ARC Raiders and The Finals—due to a compatibility break with the inpoutx64.sys driver; Embark says a fix is in the works and provides a workaround to safely remove the driver, though users should uninstall the update only if problems are severe, as the patch is otherwise important and there are other reported issues like reboots during install and Windows Hello PIN problems.
