As you know, yesterday Microsoft presented a new update Windows 10 The May 2019 Update, which will be released at the end of May and distributed through the Update Center, promises a light theme, new emojis, and other goodies. However, it looks like this new feature could cause quite a few headaches for gamers.
The bottom line is that in one of the test builds, the developers added an anti-cheat system, and implemented it into the kernel. Because of this, when you try to play a particular game, the system crashes and issues a “blue screen of death”. Of course, if the player is cheating at the same time. However, even the very fact of the game can be a reason for this. It is reported that the system may "crash" if the user plays Fortnite, as it uses its own BattleEye anti-cheat system.
Since the problem is caused by kernel level changes in WindowsMicrosoft wants game developers to partner with software companies to protect against cheating. While this works well in theory, in practice, it's unlikely that all game developers will be so disciplined.
At the same time, the test teams have already spoken in a negative way on this matter, because Microsoft has removed a block that could conflict with anti-cheat programs. And game developers, according to the company, have released patches that fix bugs and blue screens. At the same time, those games that have not received the appropriate patches will remain “problematic”.
Note that at one time Microsoft tried in the same way to introduce graphics system drivers into the kernel, due to which any graphics failure “lay down” the entire system. It seems that Redmond again decided to step on the same rake.
