Latest windows update crashing /w Karma XPU Jan. 15, 2026, 9:20 a.m.
Hidey ho! If you recently updated your windows 11 operating system you may experience crashes with Karma XPU.
This may be related to the latest window update of 26100.7623. You may want to pause your windows updates.
If you've already hit this, try rolling back the latest windows update. This seems to fix the issue.

Hidey ho! Just a heads up that we'll be down to a skeleton crew (with real skeletons! Some have flesh on them!) for the next week or two while our staff enjoys a well earned break for the holidays. We wish you the very best of the holiday season and we'll be back at full force in January.
Merry Christmas to you and have a Happy New Year!
