Windows 11 22H2 Update was released on September 20th and it is already causing serious problems for some Windows 11 users. And when we say serious, we mean serious Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). Fortunately, there is a solution that will hopefully prevent you from experiencing this annoyance head-on.
As a sister site tech radar (Opens in a new tab)Reports (via laptop mag (Opens in a new tab)), systems with 11th generation Intel Core “Rocket Lake” processors are affected. Additionally, some users with Nvidia GPUs who also have a Rocket Lake CPU are said to experience lower frame rates thanks to the 22H2. This reflects how Windows 11 TPM requirements have caused users headaches with AMD CPUs. Apparently, the people on the Windows Insider program told Microsoft about the dropped frames, but the Redmond-based tech giant failed to address the issue.
However, frames dropped in the best PC games are not as big of a problem as system crashes. So what causes BSOD for some people? It turns out to be a Windows 11 22H2 incompatibility issue with some Intel Smart Sound Technology (SST) drivers on Rocket Lake CPUs. To be more specific, it is the IntcAudioBus.sys driver with a file version of 10.29.0.5152 or 10.30.0.5152, According to a report from Microsoft (Opens in a new tab).
It is possible that your computer does not have the Intel SST feature. For example, my gaming platform has a Rocket Lake CPU but lacks Intel SST. If you want to see if you have this feature, go to Device Manager and look for the Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel SST) audio controller.
If you have the feature and are experiencing BSoD, Microsoft urges you to update the Intel SST driver. The process varies depending on the manufacturer of your computer, so be sure to check the manufacturer’s website for an update. On the contrary, you can update the driver manually by going to Settings > Update and security > Windows Update > View optional updates.

While it would be nice if Microsoft quickly released a fix for this problem, it can still be frustrating if it happened in the first place. Then again, the main system tends to cause annoying errors and crashes to some people. This is the life of a Windows user.
We hope Microsoft continues to solve various Windows 11 22H2 issues so that it runs as smoothly as possible. The last thing anyone has to face is the horrific blue screen of death.
