Microsoft observes: “This is a significantly larger update than the regular monthly updates you have been installing up until now. In some cases, it can take a few hours to install, so be patient! You do not need to babysit it, and you can continue to use your computer during most of the installation.”

The Windows 11 2024 Update also brings various welcome improvements regarding networking, which include changes to the Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) and Server Message Block (SMB). In addition, this version of the operating system supports Wi-Fi 7.

The new Windows 11 24H2 update has a new bug affecting sfc. The tool keeps returning false positives. It finds “corrupt files” that require “fixing”, except there’s nothing wrong with the file it has detected.

The list of problems caused by the Windows 11 24H2 update just keeps getting longer and longer. Not only is it causing blue screen crashes and making mouse cursors disappear, but the update also leaves behind a massive cache of undeletable files in its wake.
