- The June update for Windows 11 24h2 was interrupted by Microsoft
- A revised update has taken its place for PCs that have been affected by a compatibility problem
- Microsoft has now explained the nature of the bug, which concerned certain PC games using anti-cheat protection
Microsoft has just solved a problem with the latest Windows 11 update and has now clarified exactly what was the problem and the apparent extent of the bug.
The June update for Windows 11 24h2 was deployed yesterday (June 11), but it came with a “compatibility problem” which meant that Microsoft interrupted the deployment of certain PCs. However, the company did not tell us what this problem of mystery compatibility was.
This correction (KB5060842) was replaced by a new one (KB5063060) which has now been deployed on affected devices, and Microsoft explained what the bug, as reported by Windows reports. It was a problem with an anti-tricker tool that meant that the PC games used this system were blocked.
Microsoft said: “This update tackles an incompatibility problem where Windows could restart unexpectedly when the games are opened that use the Easy Anti-Trich Service. Easy anti-triche sets up automatically with certain games to improve safety and prevent cheating in multiplayer online PC games.
“Windows users probably did not encounter this problem because the [initial] The update that has led to the incompatibility problem (KB506842) was not offered to devices with an easy anti-triche installed. »»
Analysis: Cut confusion
This whole affair caused a little perplexity. Some people have been left to scratch their heads and wonder if, if their PC had the first June patch, does it need the second (replacement)? And others were confused on the reasons why they did not get any patch.
To try to clarify things, if you have not obtained a correction, it is because your PC has an installed game that uses an easy anti-triche (EAC). Microsoft blocked the fix for these Windows 11 devices to avoid the compatibility bug that crushed these games. At this point, however, you should have received the second update (modified) (KB5063060).
If your Windows 11 PC has received the first update (KB5060842) and you don’t have games with EAC, you will probably not have the second patch. After all, you don’t need it as such. However, if you have received the first update and you have PC games with EAC on board – and this happened to some people before Microsoft is opposed to the initial patch, even if the company insists that it was not “likely” – then you will get the second update that will effectively crush the first.
You can see where the confusion is, because it is a bit of a sticky situation. The long and the short is that if you have one of these fixes, you are good for all the security fixes and the improvements in the features that the June update provides. These are both identical updates; It’s just that the second packages the attenuation of the EAC bug at the top.
So, as long as you have one of these installed fixes, everything is fine. If you always see to crush yourself in games that use EAC, continue to check the Windows update for this second fix to replace the first (assuming that you do not already have it).
Another oddity here is that Microsoft said that the compatibility problem applied to a “limited set” of Windows 11 aircraft. But EAC is in huge games, like Legends Apex,, Fortnite and a lot of other epic games. This explains why a lot of people indicated that they had not received the initial patch of June for Windows 11, which seemed strange since Microsoft indicating that it was a niche problem.
It may be a limited problem in terms of number of PCs that experience accidents, but the number prevented from receiving the June update was substantial, and Microsoft did not make this distinction.
