COD: Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 'Season 5 Reloaded' not working on Windows 11 Insider build (workaround inside)

COD: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone players are reporting the games are not working on Windows 11 Insider version of the OS.

This issue popped up after the latest ‘Season 5 Reloaded’ update that includes new weapons and exciting new operators — Lara Croft — and the famous rapper 21 Savage.

For players who have been hit by this issue, the impact is substantial (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).

Players say that the game worked on their PC without a hiccup prior to the update. But every time they launch the game, they get an ‘unsupported operating system’ error.

In this case, the ‘unsupported operating system’ error indicates that the current version of the game isn’t optimized to run seamlessly on the pre-release version of Windows 11.

The issue stems from a compatibility conflict between the game and the Windows 11 Insider build.
