Microsoft is currently navigating a series of challenges with its latest Windows 11 24H2 update, as users encounter various bugs that disrupt the operating system’s functionality. Among the most pressing issues is a glitch that complicates the process of changing time zones when administrative privileges are not granted. This particular problem has been acknowledged by Microsoft, which confirmed its occurrence specifically within the Settings app.
In a recent Windows health release, the company addressed a range of concerns raised by users on community forums and platforms like Reddit. Notably, the update has been met with significant feedback regarding USB connectivity. In response, Microsoft has taken the precautionary step of blocking the Windows 11 24H2 update on devices utilizing the eSCL protocol, a driverless scanning protocol that operates over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and USB connections.
Reports of compatibility issues began surfacing about a month ago, affecting a variety of devices including multi-function printers, scanners, modems, and other network-connected equipment that rely on the eSCL protocol. Microsoft elaborated on the situation in its Windows health update, stating that the operating system struggles to transition from eSCL to USB mode, leading to difficulties in recognizing connected devices.
“After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, you might experience issues discovering USB connected devices that support the eSCL (eScanner Communication Language) scan protocol,” Microsoft noted. “You might observe that your device does not discover the USB connected peripheral and the device discovery does not complete.”
