Microsoft lifts one of the blocks preventing users from updating to Windows 11 24H2

Shortly after the rollout of Windows 11 version 24H2 last month, Microsoft identified a significant compatibility issue with the Voicemeeter app. Users experienced a frustrating blue screen of death, accompanied by a MEMORY MANAGEMENT error code, primarily due to driver incompatibilities. In response, Microsoft proactively implemented an update block on systems running the Voicemeeter app to safeguard user experience.

Update on Compatibility Issues

Recently, Microsoft has revised its official documentation, shedding light on the resolution of these compatibility concerns. The developers behind Voicemeeter have released a new version that addresses the problematic driver, effectively eliminating the blue screen errors on Windows 11 version 24H2. As a result, Microsoft is lifting the previous update block, allowing users to proceed with the latest system updates.

It is important to note that users wishing to update to Windows 11 version 24H2 must first ensure that their Voicemeeter app is upgraded to one of the following versions: 1.1.1.8, 2.1.1.8, or 3.1.1.8. The update block is classified as “External,” indicating that it necessitates action from third-party developers. Specifically, users will need to install the updated vbvoicemeetervaio64_win10.sys driver version 3.3.1.9 or newer, which is included in the latest Voicemeeter release.

If users still encounter difficulties accessing Windows 11 version 24H2 after updating Voicemeeter, Microsoft recommends restarting the system to expedite the removal of the block. For those who continue to experience issues, a review of other known problems associated with Windows 11 version 24H2 may be beneficial, as several remain unresolved.

The latest version of Windows 11 is still in the process of being rolled out gradually. Given that it represents a major update involving a complete operating system transition, it is not surprising that numerous bugs and compatibility challenges have surfaced. Some of the notable issues include update holds on specific ASUS devices, application freezes when the camera is in use, and blue screens of death triggered by games utilizing anti-cheat software.

For users whose devices are not impacted by any of these known bugs and who are eager to update, guidance is available for both supported and unsupported systems. This ensures that users can navigate the update process smoothly and enjoy the enhancements offered by the latest Windows version.
