Fengjui This error is usually antivirus-related, specifically the antivirus blocking or quarantining one of the game's executables. Repairing restores the .exe file. I don't know why this would be related to Windows 11 updates, but perhaps the AV is updating at the same time. Or maybe you use Windows Defender and the problem is specifically Windows security updates.
The fix here is to set exceptions in your antivirus for TS4_x64, TS4_DX9_x64, and TS4_Launcher_x64; or the entire Bin folder they're in.
Fengjui That depends on which antivirus you use. You can find examples (Avast/AVG and Windows Defender) here:

If this doesn't help, the publisher of your antivirus should have documentation online for setting exceptions and other ways to prevent the AV from blocking a program.

Okay. How do I set the exceptions in my antivirus and keep it that way?
