Warzone 2024 not launching after upgrading to Windows 11 – Stuck in Safe Mode loop

Hello,
I recently upgraded my system to Windows 11, and I'm experiencing an issue with launching Call of Duty: Warzone 2024 from Steam. Every time I try to start the game, I get the following message:

"It appears that Call of Duty did not quit properly the last time it ran. Do you want to run the game in safe mode?"

No matter whether I choose Yes or No, the game launcher pops up for a moment but the game automatically closes and doesn't start.
I’ve tried verifying the game files on Steam, updating my GPU drivers (RTX 3060 12GB), and making sure Windows 11 is up to date. I’ve also tried disabling overlays and running the game as Administrator. Despite all this, the problem persists.

Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have a solution for this issue? I'd appreciate any help or advice!

There are major issues with COD on some versions of Windows 11. Heaps are having this issue.

You have 10 days to roll back the update:
Settings > System > Recovery, and if available, select "Go back" to revert to the previous version of Windows.
