Concerns have arisen regarding the latest Windows update, particularly for Windows 10 and 11 users. The rollout of Windows 11's update version 24H2 is phased, and some users report issues such as the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and system freezes, often due to driver compatibility conflicts. Microsoft has automatic updates in place, which can complicate matters when problematic updates are released. Users can temporarily disable automatic updates by turning off the option in the 'Updates' menu. The update addresses critical security vulnerabilities, prompting the U.S. government to advise federal employees to implement mitigations or stop using affected devices. Older Windows versions (XP, 7, 8.1) no longer receive security patches, and users are advised to disconnect from the Internet until they can secure their data. Windows 10 users should consider upgrading to Windows 11 before support ends on October 14, 2025. If issues arise after installation, users should roll back the update promptly.
