The 24H2 version of Windows 11 aligns the failures with a certain consistency which ends up annoying. Indeed, since the end of September, the new version of Microsoft’s OS has a series of malfunctions a little too regularly. Blue screens, crashes due to incompatibility issues with certain CPU drivers (Intel Core 11th generation), internet connectivity issues, cache impossible to purge, etc. It’s safe to say that the launch of this version was rather tumultuous, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
Windows 11 24H2: a bad vintage?
This is a question that many users must certainly be asking themselves right now since this time around, these are applications that are affected. The players ofAsphalt 8 (very popular arcade car racing video game) pay the price, finding themselves with the steering wheel between their teeth when their game suddenly freezes.
Same fate for users of Safe Exam Browser, software designed specifically to secure online exams, or VoiceMeeter, an audio mixing software. The blue screen, that old acquaintance that we hoped we would never see again, has made a comeback and therefore prevents the proper functioning of both applications.
Security goes awry
As if that wasn’t enough, Windows Hello, the biometric guardian supposed to protect our precious machines, also starts acting up. Fingerprint sensors and facial recognition cameras seem to have developed a sudden allergy to their primary function and are also encountering problems.
Microsoft also highlighted compatibility issues between Windows 11 24H2 and certain versions of Intel Smart Sound Technology software, used to manage audio on many computers. Owners of ASUS brand laptops (X415KA and X515KA models) reported systematic crashes after installing the update.
Cherry on the cake, the Connected Mobile application, floundering. The latter allows you to connect your smartphone (Android or iPhone) directly to your computer. Rather practical, except that it stubbornly refuses to let go once the smartphone is paired. The instructions given by Microsoft to resolve the problem change absolutely nothing according to our colleagues from Clubic.
This succession of failures seriously questions Microsoft’s capacity to guarantee the quality of its flagship, Windows 11supposed to embody the technological excellence of the Redmond firm. Will the company be able to quickly correct the situation and maintain the quality standards expected? of such an important operating system ? Although the majority of users still remained on Windows 10, but in just under a year, Microsoft will stop supporting it.
- Windows 11 24H2 update accumulates blue screens, CPU crashes and connection problems.
- Three applications are experiencing problems today and Windows Hello is also buggy with this new version.
- Since the start of the school year, Microsoft has been seriously struggling to restore the reliability of this version.
