The latest version of Windows 11, version 24H2, has been plagued with a number of issues since its release a few months ago. We’ve covered some of them here, for example the Auto HDR issue, which can cause some games to freeze or display colors incorrectly.
Microsoft added another issue to the ever-growing list of Windows 11 issues.
Description:
- This affects Windows 11, version 24H2 (the latest version of Windows 11 at the time of writing).
- The issue may prevent the installation of future updates on affected systems.
- There is a solution, but only for users who are not already affected by the problem.
The problem may prevent the installation of future security updates
The issue affects Windows 11, version 24H2 devices that were installed using installation media, but only if the installation media includes the October 2024 or November 2024 security updates.
Good to know: First and third-party tools like Windows 11 Update Assistant Or Rufus Support creation of installation media.
Affected devices may block the installation of any future security updates. This will include the installation of security updates through Windows Update, direct installation of updates, and installation of updates through other means. Microsoft does not specify this issue further.
Microsoft confirms that the issue does not affect update installations through Windows Update, including upgrades from older versions of Windows to the latest Windows 11 feature updates. So most Windows 11 devices should be fine.
Microsoft’s solution
Microsoft recommends that users create installation media that contain the December 2024 security updates instead of the October or November 2024 updates. This prevents the issue, as it appears that the December 2024 security updates will not be affected by the issue.
The company does not have any advice at this time for customers who are already experiencing the issue on their devices. He says he is working on a solution.
If the installation is recent, customers may be able to start fresh. This will include creating new installation media with the December 2024 security update and a brand new installation of Windows 11 on the affected device.
According to Microsoft, Windows Server installations are not affected by this issue. You can check this issue Microsoft websiteThe company will update the information once it is successful in resolving the issue.
