- Windows 11’s 24h2 update is now in the last phase of its deployment
- Some users can find the upgrade automatically on their PC very soon
- This (should) mean that Microsoft is convinced that it is entirely in the form of a ship, although some PCs can always have problems and will be blocked from the upgrade
Windows 11’s 24h2 update is now over to all users when Microsoft has announced that the final phase of deployment has now started.
The latest Windows reports that Microsoft must have 24H2 update in enough shape to obviously consider that it is suitable for each user of Windows 11 – with a slight exception.
Microsoft says that: “Windows 11, 24H2 version, also known as the Windows 11 2024 update, is widely available. We have reached the last phase of the progressive deployment for the 24H2 version via the Windows update on the settings. ”
The exception mentioned is that the Windows 11 PCs which have a compatibility maintenance will not see the update 24h2.
This means that the system has a known problem with hardware or software in conflict with the 24H2 version that Microsoft has not resolved, so because of this, these devices do not obtain the upgrade (not yet, anyway – but they will do it when said problem will be solved).
Analysis: What does that mean in practice?
As Microsoft clearly indicates, what it means is that when you check the update in Windows Update, you will see an option to download the 24H2 update (assuming that your PC is not blocked by compatibility compliant as indicated above).
However, as Windows observes more, on some PCs, 24H2 can start to download automatically in Windows Update. In addition, if Windows 11 checks updates in the background itself, the update can also start to download automatically.
Microsoft says to us: “The devices running editions at home and pro of Windows 11, versions 11:2 p.m., 10:2 p.m. and 9:2 p.m. which are not managed by IT services will automatically receive the 24H2 version update.”
Of course, this means most everyday consumers (this will not happen in commercial circles, because IT staff manage the deployment of updates).
However, an update “ forced ” – where 24h2 will download in the background and appear by announcing that it is ready for the installation, how much, there is no return – does not happen for everyone.
But in theory, it can do it, and Microsoft will force the update given to your PC possibly. As the software giant clearly indicates elsewhere in its Windows update FAQ: “You cannot completely stop updates – because they help ensure the safety and safety of your device, updates must possibly be installed and downloaded, whatever your update settings.”
In the house of Windows 11, you don’t have much room to maneuver, but what you can do is take a break (temporarily, to buy you a little time) when you appear on the Windows update. Also make sure you have not selected the option to “get Windows updates as soon as they are available for your device” (in Windows update> Advanced options) Because it will inaugurate all updates on your PC as soon as possible.
(I should note that Windows recently provided some instructions on how to make your way to avoid the 24 -hour update, but this process goes somewhat in technical weeds and involves resuscitating the elements that Microsoft has deleted from its desktop operating system, so I would really not recommend this driving line).
In short, it is time to prepare for the 24H2 version on your Windows 11 PC for too long – which could be a concern for some people given the number of bugs and complaints of all kinds of quirks that have been associated with this particular upgrade of features. Microsoft must be confident enough to have been hammered in better shape at this stage, however, to open the 24h2 update of this large general deployment.
