🔍 Affected CPUs (examples)

This may affect Intel Core Ultra series, including:

Intel Core Ultra 5 (125H, 135H, etc.)

Intel Core Ultra 7 (155H, 165H, etc.)

Intel Core Ultra 9 (185H, 275HX, etc.)

Other Core Ultra (Series 1 & 2) processors with NPU

📌 Status

We are currently in contact with Epic Games (Unreal Engine developers) to find a proper solution.

Until then, disabling the NPU is the only reliable workaround.

Thanks for your patience and understanding 🙏
