Microsoft Windows 11 2024 Update Begins Rolling Out

SHIT OS !! stay away from this garbage beta test bad joke !!

Windows 11 24H2 Update Causes Compatibility Issues with Games with Easy Anti-Cheat

Microsoft has released the Windows 11 24H2 update, but initial feedback indicates that the update introduces compatibility issues affecting the gaming experience.

The irony here is pretty much neither of the issues quoted there are likely to be the OSes fault. It's almost like kernel anticheat just sucks.

Only playing some older game with no problems right now. Overall, performance I general seems just fine - except for Adobe Acrobat - that takes 30 seconds to launch right now. Same even after I reinstalled it. No other problems in the past 24 hours

So Gremlins are here but with the way we get updates today I expect most of them to be solved in the coming months. Gaming on 23H2 was fine for me already so I really am whelmed with my PC at the moment.

Which leads to my question. Should we focus on AMD Agesa updates, BIOS updates on MB or trust Windows to get it right?

That again? I thought they had fixed it.

They did fix it, it's just more trolls posting the same dumb clickbate Windows posts over and over. Actual OS works great.

If you compare with memory integrity enabled in 23h2 Vs 24h2, my 5600x gained a 30% in cinebench and a 10-15% in games.
If you compare 23h2 with memory integrity disabled and 24h2 with memory integrity enabled, it's a 5-10% average.

It's free performance, only going Linux would improve it further, if you have the patience to tolerate the Linux issues instead.

Thats not just free performance, thats a Gen-up level of performance which is incredible.

I'm curious though, are these tests conducted by yourself or results taken from a review? Any particular games benefiting from the performance bump more than others?

I gained more on R23 than on games, but I'm bottlenecked by GPU anyway.

Yep same here... GPU bottlenecked in most of my demanding games i'm currently rolling with. I'm still waiting for my next GPU upgrade over the 3080... gonna see whats appealing price/performance-wise once nVs got 5000-series rolled out.

Yeah now my Mouse stops randomly working. I had to install the newest GPU driver like 3 times. Including DDU Just to see my GPU. It was strange getting the message that my GPU was not supported by AMD software. There is a problem with the IGPU but it seems to be working better now.

As long as you've got your GPU working, i bet thats a big relief.

Lucky for me, i've got a bunch of mice sitting around but won't so easily sideline my current fav Razor Bas V3. Perhaps i should hold off for a bit for a couple 24H2 patches to roll out. If anything, I absolutely detest updating something only to run into issues that disrupt my workflow.

Did them myself. Tested just Cinebench, Geekbench, and Cyberpunk 2077 though.

I just updated via the Win11_24H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso, which I downloaded 16 hours ago from Microsoft homepage via an android Smartphone and a webbrowser.

The setup.exe enforces TPM, which was "activated in UEFI" but did not work. I had to reflash/update the UEFI from my mainboard and did not set any settings for the windows update.
(long term issue from ASUS - reported not fixed over a year broken one: PRIME-X670-P-ASUS-3035.CAP / new one: PRIME-X670-P-ASUS-3040.CAP)

For some reason High Contrast Mode was activated after the finished install. Just quick screenshots to show how awful it looks. Worked flawless before without eye cancer.
Nothing changed before i made the screenshots!

Who codes such garbage? This looks worse what I ever saw on the worst gnu linux desktop environment so far.
(I just wanted to see if bit**locker was activated or not - before I put back my ASUS bios settings from USB Stick)
(to explain what annoys me. There is no contrast. There are white areas, some are full dark. It's hard to see where the windows start and end. Where the contents are.)
(feel free to type winver and compare it to the section on the right.)

You can't be serious microsoft?

quick fix: I use W11 Pro just for gaming. I just looked a few minutes for the default values and reset it. Than I just set a black background.

Installed it yesterday on my PC using the windows media creation tool, full wipe, works pretty well, no issues so far.

 

[Lycanwolfen]

Installed the new Pure Windows 11 LTSC and yes it's awesome!!!! No xbox, No teams, No copliot, Provision apps nothing at all per user. Drop and Drag to taskbar works, No new notepad, No new calc, and Yes GPEDIT can turn off windows Defender, Start Menu no Chimpchamp, No linkedin, Nothing at all only Edge and Windows explorer that's it. It's so nice Memory usage is very low. Like I said many times Windows LTSC is what windows should be for everyone because it finally brings control back to the User the way it's meant to be.

As you can See Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC. NO IOT, The IOT version installs all the xbox and copliot garabge. Also noticed no Wigets at all as well. Freaking awesome.

So Happy now

 

[windwhirl]

I've been on 24H2 for months and it's been fine though, lol


Also, Windows has like a billion and half users all over the world. 1 million people complaining is just 0.06% of users. It's a ton of people, yet statistically irrelevant.

Not sure how you define a Software Version. And if that Software Version was kept at the same revision and codebase without any changes.

IMHO 24h2 is a few days old. Not several months. I consider the only valid release date when the ISO image from the microsoft servers states 24h2 with winver.exe.

C:\Windows.old should not exists after several successful cold boots with W11Pro with 24H2. (21.0GB according to baobab as space waste)

drwxrwxrwx 1 roman roman  16K Oct  4 08:45  Windows
drwxrwxrwx 1 roman roman 4.0K Oct  4 08:46  Windows.old

Insider build. I've been on insider builds since W11 was announced. The only incident of note was that it refused to update to a higher version back with... I think it was 26040 (had to replace the install.wim of the old install media with a newer one)

C:\Windows.old should not exists after several successful cold boots with W11Pro with 24H2. (21.0GB according to baobab as space waste)

IIRC, it's deleted after a few days, not a few reboots. I think it was 10 days.

Constantly get reports of corrupt files when running sfc /scannow with 24H2, and it runs not as good as it is said to imo.


Also timer resolution is funky. If you watch the sleep time with MeasureSleep app it's never consistent.

The IOT version installs all the xbox and copliot garabge.

It didn't in my tests? It doesn't even have the store.

 

[GoldenX]

IoT Is the clean one, it's even lower footprint than just Enterprise LTSC.

It's awesome, what Windows should always be.

 

[RaceT3ch]

so thats why copilot reappeared on my pc
ugh I don't even need these updates, i just fixed sinkclose with a bios update... just let me play my gun games in peace...

 

[AleXXX666]

Yes, via DuckDuckGo. I've stopped using Google search. There are only two viable search engines (Yandex is Russian crap) and DuckDuckGo uses Bing.

I agree about SHIndex (Yandex) (btw, sometimes it finds something WAY BETTER than google), but DuckDuck Shit? "Privacy" search? Cmon, don't be naive like a toddler! Even MS Bing results are way better than this hyped-out "duck" search.

can't see any diff, only longer support (but, who cares) and diff license.

well, it has been since W10 (if not 8 idk). Put some custom color and voilla, can enjoy windows without bottom, pure white, even with "borders color" enabled...

LTSC 2024 clean install, Acrobat 2021 D), no launch "delay" on i7-11800H though

Rolling back to 23h2 as updating to 24h2 gave me two sequential blue screens, and some gaming clients like GOG Galaxy and Steam won't launch.

LTSC 2024, steam works without troubles. Hasn't tested Roblox still though, it hadn't worked on "preview" 24h2 ltsc tho...

I think I am going to Windows 10 LTSC and once support for that is dropped or it's no longer viable will move to Linux permanently, M$ can shove their AI and spyware up their arsenal, last update I did broke my start menu so I rolled back, won't be sticking with 11 much longer just need the time to sort my files out and wil revert to 10 for the foreseeable

don't revert, use clean install I think?

Eh, couldn't removed it using Settings->System->Storage so I deleted it using a live Linux distro. Stupid thing is owned by "System".

I am sick and tired of Adobe, so I bought UPFD perpetual online after testing it out under trial. Does all I need.

The corrupted files are not really corrupted, it's a known bug https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1fz5172
I had a problem with 24H2 yesterday: couldn't install October cumulative update (KB5044224), failed with error 0x800736b3 ("the reference assembly is not installed on your system"). Spent several hours with MS support trying to solve it but they were clueless, and other users are also reporting the same problem. I did a full wipe clean reinstalled to solve the issue.

Ever since I installed this update yesterday City Skylines 2 crashes and it does not hook to AMD crash report.
