Microsoft confirmed three more issues that affect devices that are upgraded to Windows 11 version 24H2.
Probably the most severe of the lot is the issue that may cause a BlueScreen error during the upgrade from earlier versions of Windows 11.
Here are the details:
- Some Asus devices, including 415KA and X515KA models, are affected.
- The upgrade does not complete and may result in a BlueScreen error.
- The issue is linked to “certain hardware components” used in affected models.
Microsoft is blocking (some?) Asus devices from upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 using a compatibility hold. This feature blocks the upgrade on the devices, but only when Windows Update is used.
Microsoft recommends that device administrators do not attempt to install the update manually, for instance by using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or Installation media.
Two additional issues confirmed
Microsoft confirmed two additional issues. These are:
- Voicemeter app may close unexpectedly and throw a BlueScreen error that may highlight a memory management error. Link
- Camera use may cause some apps to become unresponsive. This may happen if object or face detection features are enabled. Link
A compatibility hold is now in effect for both issues. While it is easy enough to identify devices with Voicemeter, Microsoft does not reveal which devices are affected by the camera issue.
Administrators are asked not to upgrade to Windows 11, version 24H2 using any other method while Microsoft is investigating and creating patches to address the issues.
Closing Words
Microsoft confirmed several issues affecting Windows 11, version 24H2 already. It is possible that some of these will get resolved when the optional update for the operating system gets released later this month.
On a personal note, I did not experience any issues on a test system that I upgraded to Windows 11, version 24H2.
What about you? Did you upgrade a device to the latest Windows 11 version already? How did it go? Feel free to leave a comment down below.
