Windows 11 might not update if you have these apps

Microsoft has implemented a thorough scan of hardware and installed software for potential incompatibilities before initiating Windows updates, pausing the process if any issues are detected. The rollout of the Windows 11 24H2 update has seen an increase in upgrade blocks, affecting certain Asus laptops, integrated webcams, and fingerprint sensors. Specific incompatibilities include Gameloft’s Asphalt 8: Airborne, the Safe Exam Browser, Easy Anti-Cheat, various wallpaper customization tools, and Intel Smart Sound Technology, which requires a driver update. Microsoft is working to address these issues to minimize user intervention.

Microsoft blocks Windows 11 24H2 on two ASUS models due to crashes

Microsoft has issued a warning about potential system failures, specifically the blue screen of death (BSOD), affecting ASUS laptop models X415KA and X515KA during the upgrade to Windows 11 version 24H2. The company is working with ASUS to resolve the issue, and until a fix is available, users will not receive prompts to update their operating systems. Users may encounter a BSOD during the installation process, preventing the upgrade. Microsoft advises against manual updates using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or media creation tools for these models. This issue follows a recent halt of Windows 11 24H2 updates for specific Intel PCs due to similar BSOD occurrences. Users have also reported gaming performance issues, application responsiveness problems, and inaccuracies in Disk Cleanup reporting after upgrading to Windows 11 24H2.
