Hyperspin stops working on Windows 11 Home/Pro (version 24H2) after update

Yes, I just updated the latest Windows updates, which it reinstalled KB5055523.  I will need to uninstall and block it.  Keep in mind, Microsoft is rolling out updates in certain areas. For example, Dime333 has updates available for a later Windows11 build which is currently not available here in southern California.

@shredder  Have you tried removing the other 2 updates as well? 

 

 

 

I only have 3 updates available to remove and none of them are the KB's mentioned in this thread... I've tried removing them but then never seem to actually remove....starting to think my OS is f*cked. Trying to avoid totally wiping my PC and starting over because I'm pretty deep into configurations and such and unfortunately don't have a recent backup...not that it would help anyway if my OS is fucked.

Try this under windows update if you’ve already tried the Sfc /scannow command.  You shouldn’t lose any settings or files.  It’s an iso download, so it might take 30 minutes to an hour to download and install the updates.

Yes, I'd definitely suggest trying the restore (fix problems using windows update) option. Worked for me last night and got Hyperspin running again.

Tried this, no joy. Also according to a microsoft forum it seems that after 10 days of 24h2 being installed that rolling back to 23h4 is no longer an option and the only options are to reset the pc or to wait for a fix from MS...some spanish speaking folks on reddit claim that an update has fixed their systems already with a new security KB that has come out, that i assume is regionally distributed. 
Useless info, but I'll throw out that I happen to know that during mid 2023 Microsoft did a massive budget cut and operations restructuring.... I imagine because of trickle down economics that QA went out the window in the interest of time. 
Unless someone happens to find a fool proof fix for this, i guess i'll just have to wait for additional updates from MS for this to sort itself out. 
It does look like @jhabers has been updating this most recently and perhaps could provide some insight on how to reverse engineer the classic version of hyperspin to ensure continued support, or at least provide some documentation on how to support it so that someone else can take over. If hyperspin 2 is taking precedent, then Hyperspin classic should be de-licensed as "Open Source".
