23h2 Crashes unreal engine games with “UE4 game has crashed and will be closed! Fatal error!”

Ever since the February 23H2 update, my Unreal Games crash as well. I play Dead By Daylight and it would say that Unreal had an exception and caused a crash. I tried on Xbox game pass and it did the same thing. Unreal Fatal Error. Game will be closed. I just reverted back to the 2H22 update and no problems since (other than having to wait for my dead by daylight ban of 48 hours since it was causing me to DC so many times). I created a restore point and called it SAFE WINDOWS and am considering updating to the the January update at the most just to see if it was that particular update. The known issues & resolved issues do not mention anything in regards to Unreal. So I am not sure if they are aware of it. But that was my fix for now. I have disabled updates for 5 weeks (the max apparently).

I had done the same troubleshooting steps as well (doing a clean install of windows, doing a clean install of my graphics card software, drivers, etc) nothing solved the issue until I reverted back to the 22H2 version via the Microsoft Update Catalog.

Sure thing, when I click on such sites I hope to find a solution, but usually nothing, so I'm glad if I could help anybody.

In addition to what I said before, here is the link to the Web-Archive with .iso file of windows 22h2

For anybody who may have the same problem - I’ve fixed it. I managed to find iso of 22h2 windows 11, installed it, stopped all updates for 4 weeks and everything works now. I believe 23h2 has some problems yet, quite unstable.

Thank you for the fast reply! Just launched the game to get fresh dump files, got windows defender update, thought it would help, but played 3 minutes and it crashed again. Also, I don't have them where you said I should look, but I found in a different place. So here is the link Minidump . Thank you!!

In addition to that, this time I've got a little bigger error message than I had before.
