Microsoft is blocking the Windows 11 24H2 update on computers with some Ubisoft games, like Assassin’s Creed, Star Wars Outlaws, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, after changes in the operating system cause the games to crash, freeze, or have audio issues.
I don’t see how that statement refutes the problem being something to do with kernal level access. It’s entirely possible that the 24H2 update changed something that is playing poorly with the DRM in these titles.
This is like saying “Think again! The car manufacturer said the car’s engine suffered a failure,” as a retort to someone asking if a faulty spark plug is the cause of the car not working.

My money’s still on Denuvo being the root cause.

The kernel is part of the operating system.
