Speaking of which, not only was the issue not fixed, but some of the cumulative updates from February 2ndaffected the way Windows 10 behaves with certain games:
Microsoft and Discord have found incompatibility issues with some games using Direct3D 12 when the in-game overlay feature of Discord is enabled. When attempting to open affected games you might receive an error, or the game might close silently.
