Windows 11 Update Addresses Easy Anti-Cheat Compatibility Issue
Updated June 11, 2025
Microsoft has released an out-of-band update, KB5063060, for Windows 11 version 24H2 to address compatibility issues with Easy Anti-Cheat, a service used by some games to prevent cheating. The update, which brings the build number to 26100.4351, targets gamers experiencing unexpected system restarts.
The problem arose after the June 2025 security update caused conflicts with games using Easy Anti-Cheat. According to Microsoft, the original update, KB5060842, was not offered to users with these games due to the incompatibility. Now, with KB5063060, those users can receive the latest security enhancements and fixes.
The new update is cumulative, incorporating all previously released updates. This ensures users receive a extensive set of improvements.
This update addresses an incompatibility issue where Windows might restart unexpectedly when opening games that use the Easy Anti-Cheat service. Easy Anti-Cheat automatically installs with certain games to enhance security and prevent cheating in multiplayer online PC games.
However, another issue persists for PCs with Intel Alder Lake+ and vPro chips. These systems may still experience crashes when launching games using Easy Anti-Cheat. Microsoft suggests updating games to newer versions with more recent easy Anti-Cheat releases as a potential workaround.
