Microsoft is automatically upgrading Windows 11 PCs from older versions such as 23H2 or 22H2 up to version 24H2, which brings performance boosts and new features. However, persistent bugs such as Asus compatibility and camera unresponsiveness are still present, and may delay updates for affected PCs.
The 24H2 update has had a rocky start, causing problems such as malfunctioning HDR and games not working properly. This issue has led to some users being reluctant to upgrade, though newer PCs are eligible for an automatic upgrade to 24H2.
Those who wish to delay the update can do so for up to five weeks. To do this, users must open the Settings app, select the Windows Update section and choose the number of weeks they want to delay updates for.
New features coming with the update include Windows Recall - which captures snapshots of PC activity and makes them searchable to find past information more easily - and improved performance and swifter updates for PCs equipped with AMD Ryzen CPUs and running Windows 11.
Microsoft has addressed many issues with 24H2 through patches, but bugs like some Asus PCs not being able to install the update and problems with wallpaper and cameras persist.
Overall, the update is expected to improve performance and bring new features, but those who are wary of the automatic update can delay it for up to five weeks, understanding that potential risks go unaddressed.
