Windows 11 24H2 - is it safe yet?

[adrichardson81]

There was another video showing how to stay on 23H2, video below, taken from another Windows 11 thread

Decided to live with it for now. I think disabling MPO had fixed the gsync issue (I've given up trying to figure why gsync being enabled in full screen mode could remotely effect windowed mode apps), new DAC seems to be behaving (mostly) and Nvidia auto HDR seems to work again.

Some software companies are reporting 11-20% of their users who've updated to 24H2 having issues like webcam functionality being impacted, this is not just maybe 1000 people.

Audio issues have been quite widespread with the update, the update (and update process) seems to mess with the Windows audio sub-system in several ways resulting from anything from like I had where audio settings were randomly reset after the update through to people getting BSODs unless they remove soundcards or unplug USB audio devices.

Though not exactly a MS issue some of the File Explorer bugs after the update are due to people using 3rd party patched/modified File Explorer software but that itself is a huge issue as inadequate and in some cases completely clueless development leads people to having to resort to stuff like that.



That is probably because across industries like that a good percentage of it will be standardised system builds i.e. Dell where issues are more likely to have been discovered in previews, etc.

Nope, all custom builds or images. Although admittedly that's a good point, clean builds as opposed to in place upgrades.

clean builds as opposed to in place upgrades.

In place upgrades seem to be one area the update isn't doing well - it screwed with my audio settings causing issues whereas on a clean image it is using defaults.
