I don't know how many things can MSoft break with one update, but here's another one:

A recent Windows 11 update broke a popular streaming method on OBS but a temporary fix is now here

If you use OBS to stream, and most of all if you're hooking up multiple PCs to broadcast, you may have noticed "severe stuttering, lag, and choppy audio/video". According to the latest Windows release known issues, you aren't the only one.
As pointed out in the latest Windows 11 Version 24H2 update post, OS build 26100.4946 (which launched on August 12) has broken NDI use for some streamers. Over in forums like the VideoEngineering Subreddit, users have been complaining about 'sudden lag and framedrops' in NDI streams for a while now.
>> Other than Basil, I don’t know if this may affect the rest of you.

But if you're tired of MSoft breaking Windows after every new update, let me tell you that there's new coming at some point... but I really, really doubt it's going to be better:

Elon Musk claims to be making Microsoft competitor named Macrohard and despite the 'tongue-in-cheek name', the project is unfortunately 'very real'

Windows 11 has picked up a fair bit of ire, and for understandable reasons. In the last year alone, we've seen reports of undeletable caches and some SSDs not playing nice with the software. Well, if you want a "purely AI" alternative from the man who ruined Twitter, Elon Musk has a bridge to sell you just announced Macrohard. Yeah, I don't think it's a good name either.

As announced via Elon Musk's X account, "It’s a tongue-in-cheek name, but the project is very real!" He goes on to state, "given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI."
>> I have so many thoughts abput this,  and none of them are good.
