Adventures in performing a clean install of Windows 11 24H2:

- Modded graphics driver installations (e.g. .inf mod or using NVCleanInstall) now fail due to driver signature enforcement.  Driver signature enforcement can be disabled in "Advanced Startup Options" to enable successful installation

- CPU performance is about the same on a 7th gen quad-core (Cinebench R20 was consistently 2026 before, now 2016)

 

I don't think a standard Windows install would be bearable.  I used NTLite to nuke Copilot, Recall, OneDrive, Edge, Game Bar, etc. and the result is a nice, classic, Windows experience.  The clean installation used ~125 process and 2.4 GB of ram before driver installation.

Sad seeing Microsoft put all resources on the wrong spot. They should rather try fix own mess.

The update meant to rescue Windows 11 24H2 fails to install, crashes

Patch KB5044384 was supposed to solve numerous problems in Windows 11 24H2, but it's becoming a source of errors itself.

Windows 11 24H2's Task Manager showing zero apps and background processes? Yes, Microsoft just confirmed that issue...

Nice. Microsoft can't even make own preffered Cpu to work properly with their latest and greatest.

 

Microsoft has quietly confirmed that printer-related problems on Windows 11 24H2 are real, at least for non-AMD or Intel PCs. Workaround has been provided.

 

And here is some that offer something more valuable than what Microsoft is able to do...

"Edge started automatically on his PC last week at boot and offered up a new prompt to “enhance your browsing experience.” The pop-up has a “bring over your data from other browsers regularly” option ticked by default"

Here's an new "Poop" from Redmond

 

Windows 11 24H2 KB5046617 is causing new issues, including installation errors

neowin.net - November 18, 20240
Windows 11 24H2 is supposed to get better with the new cumulative updates, but that's not the case. Many users have flagged that Windows 11 KB5046617 (24H2) fails to install due to different errors...

Update on Windows 11 24H2 issues:

- On a clean install, 24H2 always makes the discrete GPU "GPU 0," no matter installing drivers in the correct order.  This can cause problems for some laptops.

- No major issues on my Precision 7540.  Clean 24H2 installation is snappier than old 23H2 installation, and Optimus works fine.

- On my Precision 7520 with not-officially-supported Kaby Lake processor, lots of problems with discrete graphics.  1) New "Unsupported PCIe device" error, preventing discrete GPU from entering low power states.  2) On battery power, discrete GPU often fails to activate, causing "Driver Power State Failure" BSOD

- 24H2 monthly update downloaded (but did not install) files for Edge and OneDrive - so I had to delete them, stop the edge update service, and remove OneDrive links from the file explorer and personal folders.  GRRR
