I just installed the latest windows insider build update - Windows 10 Insider Preview 21286.1000 (rs_prerelease). I cannot play Modern Warfare now. I do see that the game launches and I see the process in the Task Manager but then it is suspended (sometimes, not all the time) or it just disappears from the list. Then the Blizzard launcher button changes from Launching... to Play Now.

I don't think I can roll back changes. I want a quick solution too.

  • We’re investigating an issue where Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War may not launch starting with this build. If you play these games, you may wish to pause updates until the issue is resolved."

Unfortunately I only saw that after I completed the update. Cod does not start in any way and a rollback to a previous Windows always fails. 

Has anybody found a workaround? I guess the only solutions is to reinstall :cry:

Since it's mentioned in the blog post as known issue, just wait till it's fixed. if it was easy to fix I think they would have done it before release.

 

you can dual boot Insider Dev/Stable build so in these situations switch to the regular version of Windows and do your normal tasks.
