Recently, users of Twitch and YouTube live broadcasts have experienced problems because of Windows update. Now the community is experiencing a new issue and a great number of users indicate they can’t properly make live broadcasts in YouTube and Twitch platforms.
The problems are affecting users of both Windows 10 and 11 as well as different components from the PC. For example, the hard drive disks won’t copy big size files or an important quantity of them. Windows recent update is the main responsible for problems during August and early Septembre in Twitch and YouTuve live broadcasts. The problem of the patches also affects the operating system as a hole. You won’t be able to restore your PC to a former state. The KB5063878 update arrived some days ago and it’s the main cause of performance issues all around the globe.
Twitch and YouTube live broadcast creators are the victims
Another big problem with the Windows update patches is that you can’t restart or restore a Windows PC. This is an error detected by the community of users caused by the KB5063878 update. Just a few days ago when Windows Update downloaded this package, you may experienced NDI technology problems. This means Network Device Interface issues. It’s a problem specially focused on multimedia live broadcasting process for audio and video in high quality. In a few words, users are experiencing low performance and several other problems when broadcasting live Twitch of YouTube videos.
The most affected users are those who create content for Twitch, YouTube and other streaming platforms. All the platforms that are based on NDI technology may experience problems when installing the latest Windows patch. You can detect it by low performance of audio and video quality on live broadcasts. A content creator requires high quality data transmission to offer a good product for viewers and sponsors and that’s why the patch is a great problem.
OBS app affected
Open Broadcast Software is one of the apps that show the multimedia broadcasting issue. OBS is a very popular app for those who create content and it’s not working properly with the new update.
Users who make live broadcasts on Twitch and YouTube will also find a low quality performance with this new update. As higher resolution you use for your videos, the more you will notice the low quality performance. Windows 11 24H2, Windows 10 22H2 and 21H2 are three of the versions currently affected by this update.
Microsoft developers advice for Internet cuts, delay in audio and video broadcast through NDI and other issues. They are already working on a solution to restore the quality of audio, video and other multimedia live broadcasts. For the time being, they also recommend to switch NDI reception to manual in the destination equipment for a TCP or UDP setting. The community expects for a new release to solve these problems soon but there are no dates announced yet. If you are a content creator, make sure you are aware of this and prevent your viewers to avoid criticize.
