First, that build of Windows 10 (v2004 - build 19041) reached the end of its support on 14 December 2021. The most up to date build is 19044, v21H2 although you might not currently have received a notice that your system is available. You should have access to at least build 19043.

Second, doing a search for a phrase from your post - renpy game do not launch after Windows general update - in google came up with this:

You must be registered to see the links

• One item appears on that page discussing if you are trying to run software rendering graphics or hardware accelerated. Make sure that you are running the games with the latter.
• Another item appears to deal with still needing to make sure all drivers are updated - which might require several updates after the big one.
• A third discusses making sure the directory path uses characters in the current system language for your version of Windows.

Hope this helps.

Tried all the three options. Some game works while some does not.

I might have the same problem, or at least with one game: Dark Magic.
During the booting of the game, it just gets disabled when I am viewing the task manager.
The game never come as far as for the game icon to appear at the task bar.
