Microsoft’s November Patch Tuesday squashes several bugs in Windows 11 24H2

The recent Patch Tuesday update for Windows 11 24H2, identified as KB5046617, addresses various bugs in the Windows 11 2024 edition. Key fixes include resolving a connectivity issue related to DHCP servers, correcting a flaw in the Task Manager that displayed zero processes when grouped by type, and fixing a black screen problem when using the Alt+Tab shortcut. The update also rectifies a glitch in the Windows Disk Cleanup tool that inaccurately reported free storage space and resolves an issue in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) affecting access to Dev Drives. Despite these improvements, Microsoft acknowledges ongoing issues, including update difficulties on some Asus PCs, unresponsive camera applications, problems with the Safe Exam Browser, blue screens from the Easy Anti-Cheat application, compatibility issues with specific Intel drivers, and sporadic unresponsiveness in the Asphalt 8 game. The update has been temporarily blocked for affected devices until fixes are implemented. Additionally, the update addresses nearly 100 security vulnerabilities and introduces new features, including a customizable Copilot keyboard key. The update installs automatically, but users can also check for it manually in Settings under Windows Update.

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.

Windows 11’s big 2024 update leaves behind ~9GB of undeletable files

Microsoft's 24H2 update for Windows 11 has caused issues for users, including blue screen crashes, disappearing mouse cursors, and an unusually large cache folder that can reach 8.63GB during installation. Users are unable to delete this cache through the Control Panel or alternative methods, with the only solution being a complete reinstallation of Windows. Microsoft is working on a patch to address the cache issue, which will be included in a future update. Users are advised not to attempt to delete the Windows Update cache until the patch is released.

Microsoft blocks Windows 11 24H2 on some Intel PCs over BSOD issues

Microsoft is blocking upgrades to Windows 24H2 on devices with incompatible Intel Smart Sound Technology (SST) audio drivers due to blue screen of death (BSOD) issues linked to specific driver versions (10.29.0.5152 and 10.30.0.5152). This affects devices with Intel 11th Gen Core processors. A compatibility hold has been implemented, and users are advised against manually upgrading to Windows 11 24H2. Users can update their Intel SST drivers to versions 10.30.00.5714 or later, or 10.29.00.5714 or later, to resolve the issue. Other compatibility holds are in place for systems running Asphalt 8, Easy Anti-Cheat, Safe Exam Browser, certain fingerprint sensors, and wallpaper customization applications.
