Windows 11 22H2 was released to the public on September 20 and needed to be put back into its original cage. Sketchy updates are breaking PCs. Not only did it drop frame rates for gamers with Nvidia GPUs, but it also caused a disastrous Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) for some users. If you’ve been having this problem, don’t worry; there’s a fix, let’s take a look!
Why does a Windows 11 update cause a blue screen of death?
The Windows 11 22H2 update has an incompatibility issue with some Intel Smart Sound Technology (SST) audio drivers on Rocket Lake processors. More specifically, according to a report published by Microsoft on September 22, the driver IntcAudioBus.sys with file version 10.29.0.5152 or 10.30.0.5152 is the culprit. As a result, the user got a BSoD, a stop error that caused the system to shut down due to a fatal failure.
What exactly is the Intel SST audio driver? It is an integrated digital signal processor that manages voice, voice and audio interactions. If you want to determine if this feature is available, navigate to Device Manager and search for Intel® Smart Sound Technology (Intel® SST) Audio Controller.
Thankfully, according to Windows Update, Microsoft has taken steps to prevent affected PCs from using the incompatible Windows 11 update.
How to fix Windows 11 update blue screen of death
To resolve this BSoD issue, Microsoft recommends updating the affected Intel SST driver, depending on your system manufacturer. Go to your OEM website for updates or navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View optional updates.
After updating to a version higher than 10.29.0.5152 or 10.30.0.5152, users should now have the opportunity to bypass the block and update Windows 11 without any issues.
According to the latest Windows news, Microsoft is working hard to roll out a new update to fix a dire issue with Windows 11 22H2.
