The latest Windows 11 update, codenamed 24H2, has been a troubled rollout for Microsoft, but one thing’s been clear from the beginning: PC gamers should wait to install it. Let’s add another issue to the list, shall we?
As spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft has confirmed in an update to its Windows 11 24H2 problems page, that Windows 11 24H2 is causing issues with its Auto HDR feature. The result of the bug is that incorrect colors are being displayed or, even worse, are breaking games entirely and causing them to not be responsive.
The page reads as follows: “You might observe that the game colors are incorrect in certain display configurations. You might also observe that some games stop responding.”
That’s pretty vague, and may cause some frustration on the part of PC gamers trying to troubleshoot what’s wrong with their systems. Due to the problem, Microsoft will no longer deliver the Windows 11 24H2 update to PCs with Auto HDR turned on.
As Microsoft advises, the way to get around this, of course, is to turn off Auto HDR entirely on your PC. This can be found by heading to Settings > System > Display. From there, select Graphics and then Turn Off Auto HDR for all games. According to Microsoft, this will enable you to get the Windows 11 24H2 update again.
Auto HDR is a great feature that, as the name implies, automatically turns SDR games into HDR. It’s a must-use feature for those with HDR-capable displays, such as one of the best OLED monitors. But at the cost of causing games to be unresponsive? No way.
It may be a while before PC gamers will feel totally comfortable upgrading to Windows 11 24H2, which has been slowly rolling out since the beginning of October. But for now, it’s best to wait this one out to avoid more headaches for yourself.
ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.
Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
AI giants have a growing autonomy problem on their hands. A new Axios report has revealed that Anthropic's Claude recently accessed publicly available Georgia vote count without human authorization, sparking fresh concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
