Microsoft will roll out the Windows 11 24H2 update from October 1, but it will not come without problems after installation. Various problems have now been found that range from not so bad to serious.

Do not install manually
Meanwhile, Microsoft does not recommend manually installing the 24H2 update of Windows 11 if the update offer is blocked on your computer. So do not use the Media Creation Tool or the Windows 11 installation assistants until a solution is available.

Not the first problems with the update
It is not the first time that there have been problems with this update. For example, the Disk Cleanup tool shows several gigabytes of available space in the Windows Update cache, which should normally be deleted automatically by the built-in cleanup tools. Microsoft now sees this problem as a (simple) display error that would be resolved in a future update.

Problems with Asus devices
In the Windows release Health notes, Microsoft has confirmed a number of problems that may occur after installing the 24H2 update of Windows 11. For example, a few problems have been mentioned with certain Asus products. For the models X415KA and Good news for Asus users is that in collaboration with Microsoft, they have found the problem and blocked the update for the affected devices with Safeguard ID 54157480.

Voicemeeter causes blue screen of death
When using the Voicemeeter app there is a possibility of an infamous blue screen of death (BSOD) with a memory management error message. This is because the voicemeeter driver is incompatible with the current Memory manager. The update is also blocked on these devices. The Safeguard ID is 53794850, according to Microsoft VB-Audio Software is working on a solution to this problem.

Integrated cameras experience problems
Using facial or object recognition on certain devices with built-in cameras can cause unknown issues. This is probably due to the camera app, facial recognition via Windows Hello and possibly other apps that use the built-in camera. As a workaround, Microsoft has blocked the update with Safeguard ID 53340062.
