Your experience with KB5067931 and KB5067036 causing significant gaming performance issues is concerning, and it's understandable that you'd want to report this for further investigation. Preview updates, by their nature, can sometimes introduce bugs or performance regressions, especially in demanding applications like games.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, definitely concerning. Now I'm not sure which preview update is the culprit or if it's both. However, I figured I'd report it because I've done numerous updates, including preview updates in the past without issues in games. I'm wondering if this is related to 24H2 or 25H2. Where maybe 23H2 was more stable. This is one of the first times I've had to uninstall update(s).

If you see the story, I posted regarding Task Manager (in this thread), it's possible this was occurring. However, there's no way to be sure as I wasn't paying attention to that specifically when I was troubleshooting the issue.

I can see how bugs sometimes are introduced with preview updates but hoping when official rollout comes around, they fix the problem.
