Windows 11’s big December update fixes AMD GPU crash issues and more
Yesterday, Microsoft released the big Windows 11 December update with lots of improvements, not only introducing new features but also fixing several annoying glitches and security flaws. One of the bigger fixes addresses graphical issues with AMD GPUs, which significantly impaired titles like Battlefield 6, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and ARC Raiders.
It’s mainly gamers with an AMD RX 9070 XT GPU who, after installing the optional KB5070311 update (which also corrected some other Windows 11 bugs), report that they’re no longer experiencing the constant crashes related to “GPU hangs,” “drivers removed,” and “no further commands accepted.” These problems occurred when using AMD’s Adrenalin Edition 25.11.1 driver version.
The fact that update KB5070311 fixes these errors is somewhat surprising, as Microsoft only mentions them very briefly and without further details on the official support page:
Fixed: Recently, certain games may have displayed the message “Unsupported graphics card detected” even though a supported graphics card was being used.
AMD also doesn’t even mention at all in its Adrenalin Edition 25.11.1 release notes that update KB5070311 solves this.
Fortunately, you no longer need to install the once-optional KB5070311 update manually to get these fixes since that update is now rolled up into the big December 2025 patch released yesterday, also known as update KB5072033. As soon as this mandatory update is installed on your PC, your Windows should have either build number 26200.7309 (Windows 11 25H2) or 26100.7309 (Windows 11 24H2).
