From Windows Vista, there was a new feature added aiming to improve compatibility and also a performance on some video games.

This feature is called Fullscreen optimization and is enabled by default in all the games that you install on your computer (and those who support it). It is a neat feature, but some users have reported that this could be the reason why you see the bad module info error on PUBG.

This Game Bar is a useful feature that lets you take screenshots of your games and also record your gameplays. Although it is useful and works great in almost all cases if you have issues like this one, you need to disable it, following these steps:

  1. Open the Windows Settings pressing the keys Win + I
  2. There, click on the section Gaming
    gaming settings windows 10
  3. In the list of the left, click on Game bar
  4. Finally, on the right, disable the switch Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using the Game bar
