As you know, yesterday Microsoft introduced the latest Windows 10 May 2019 Update, which will be released at the end of May and will be distributed through the Update Center. It promises a light theme, new emoji and other "buns". However, it seems that the novelty can bring a lot of headaches to 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 βblue screen of deathβ. 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 changes at the kernel level in Windows, Microsoft wants game creators to work with software companies to protect against cheating. However, this works well in theory. In practice, it is unlikely that all igrodely 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 βproblematicβ.
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 βlay downβ the entire system. It seems that Redmond again decided to step on the same rake.
