Optional Windows 11 Update Linked to Battlefield 6 Crashes - briefly

An optional Windows 11 preview update, KB5124010, is being blamed by PC players for crashing Battlefield 6 and some other online games. Microsoft released the non-security preview on 22 September 2026 for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, taking those builds to 26100.9550 and 26200.9550.

Players say Battlefield 6 often closes to the desktop 15 to 30 seconds after launch, with no error on screen. Similar reports hit Wardogs, where Team17 pointed to a WD-L020 error and said uninstalling the update is the current workaround.

An EA forum helper said the reports were passed to developers and suggested rolling back preview updates. Microsoft’s KB page does not list a game-crash known issue, and the patch is optional, so it will not install unless you choose it.
