Microsoft fixes game, app crashes caused by recent Windows update

Microsoft resolved a bug in the September 2026 Windows 11 preview update (KB5124010) that caused applications and games using AC-3 (Dolby Digital) audio decoding to crash. The fix addressed compatibility issues introduced by the update.

Why it matters: Windows 11 users running affected applications need to know the issue is resolved and can update safely; software developers should verify their audio implementations against the corrected build.
