Windows 11 24H2 - is it safe yet?

Arterion · 2025-02-27T08:03:18+0000

Hi folks, when Win 11 24H2 was released in October 24 there were lots of issues reported across multiple editions and in basically all environments: file explorer bugs, audio and BT problems, webcam functionality, general performance including hangs, crashes, and BSODs. It was so bad I rebuilt my home PC to the previous version, and I blocked the update from applying to my work estate.

Anecdotally, things seem to have improved since then, and I was wondering if anyone is currently using it either personally or in a work environment and could report on the current experience, please?

I've personally had no issues with it, but if you want feedback from those working at scale (I no longer do IT support) then asking on reddit technical subreddits would get you a more accurate picture to be honest. https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/

Yeah, that's good advice, thanks!

Tbh I've not heard of any of those problems and I've been using it for a while. Not sure if that helps at all!

I appreciate the input. I always wonder how far and wide these problems really are!
