Windows 11 24H2 released

Post by JoeP »

The latest Windows 11 update has been released. See How to get new experiences for Windows 11 for more details and links.

NOTE: there is no need to rush to get this release. As with all the latest Microsoft upgrades it will be released in a phased fashion with additional new features being released in more phases later.

If you do decide to upgrade, be sure to make an image backup of your system before beginning the upgrade process.

I updated my laptop and desktop to 24H2. Installation went smoothly and relatively quickly. On my desktop everything was as before, but on the laptop several settings were changed - I lost my desktop background image, 'Do Not Disturb' was turned on, and Teams auto-started. Correcting this took only a minute though.
Best wishes,
Hans

I've been running 24H2 in pre-release versions since May 2024. I've experienced no issues. It was an easy, uneventful installation. Updates since then have been the same. I use the Bing wallpaper app and it has worked just fine. I don't recall anything about "Do Not Disturb" or Teams but then again I'm not entirely sure what I had for breakfast yesterday. 😂
