Anti-cheat software causing big problems for Windows 10 previews
-
Months-old problem means we haven't had a slow ring release since last year.
The Windows 10 Insider Preview Slow Ring—the beta track that's meant to receive only those builds that are free from any known serious problems—hasn't received an update for months. While the fast ring is currently testing previews of the April 2019 release, codenamed 19H1, and the even-faster skip-ahead ring is testing previews not of the October 2019 release, 19H2, but of the April 2020 release, 20H1, the Slow Ring is yet to receive a single 19H1 build.
...
Sarkar says that the fix must come from the third-party company that developed the anti-cheat software.

@scottalanmiller Anti cheat software for windows update? Why? Hopefully I'm missing a lot by not reading the article yet, but really, if your update software needs anti-cheat code, you're doing it wrong.

Which anti-cheat software is it? I must have missed it in the article.

I'm pretty sure that it is something third party.

And why does my OS have anti-cheat code in it? I enjoy cheating on my games.

Which itself is pretty cool. XBox original right?

No idea. I saw the headline that they were working that way and did not read the article.

Make that part of the XBox software / emulator or however they'replanning to do it, not part of the OS!

That would be a forklift operation, when they're just attempting to half-bake this cake and get it out the front door before you realize it's still raw eggs.

The problem is I want to have my cake and eat it too... I don't want it clucking at me when I jab it with a fork.

Also this, IMO is just bloating the Windows OS even more.
I get that it would be a really nice feature to have, so you can play xBox games anywhere, but talk about a Turducken.

The update and solution that MS has for this, Slow Build - Green Screen of Death error is to simply not offer this update. . .
Update: While the GSOD of death issue remains, Microsoft has at last pushed a build to the Slow Ring, number 18342.8. To avoid crashing machines, the build won't be offered to any system that has the offending anti-cheat software installed. It's not clear why this approach could not have been used months ago.

I figured it was 3rd party. Just wondering if it is from the games that I play.
