There is a lot of videos on the net explaining how to go back to Windows 11 23h2 like this one:

but this can be tedious as it may require a fresh install! which means you have to backup your files and reinstall everything!
You can also just install Windows 10 and don't care for updates (like the post previous to mine suggested) until Windows 11 is fixed.

a simpler solution is to disable Engine multithreading in game each time we teloport but that also ca become annoying quickly!

that's why I guess the best solution right now (other than reinstalling Windows) is to set the affinity of the CPU:

start POE2
right click on the taskbar then click on task manager
click on the detail icon in the left side
find the executable (on steam its: PathOfExileSteam.exe)
right click on it then click set affinity
uncheck at least one thread
From now on if there is a freeze you can still switch to windows and kill the process

you can also do this with a line command, you will find a lot of videos explaining how to do that too.

The freeze doesn't happen very often but the hard reboot is annoying, we get rid of it with this method.

All is left now is hoping the windows patch comes soon !
