- The 24h2 update of Windows 11 is now in the last phase of its deployment
- Some users can find the update automatically pushed to their PC very soon
- That (should) mean that Microsoft is confident that it is completely a shipping ship, although some PCs can still have problems and will be blocked from the update
Windows 11’s update 24 now is being implemented to all users, since Microsoft has announced that the final implementation phase has now begun.
The latest Windows reports that Microsoft must have the 24H2 update in good way that it obviously considers that each Windows 11 user fits, with a slight exception.
Microsoft says that: “Windows 11, 24h2 version, also known as Windows 11 2024 update, is widely available. We have reached the last phase of the gradual deployment for version 24h2 through the Windows update in the configuration.”
The aforementioned exception is that Windows 11 PCs that have a compatibility retention in their place will not see the 24H2 update.
What this means is that the system has a problem known to hardware or conflict software with the 24H2 version that Microsoft has not resolved, so because of this, those devices will not obtain the update (not yet, anyway, but they will do so when the problem is solved).
Analysis: What does this mean in practice?
As Microsoft makes clear, what this means is that, when next time verifies updates on Windows Update, you will see an option to download the 24h2 update (assuming that its PC is not blocked by a compatibility retention as indicated above).
However, as Windows observes more, on some PC, 24h2 can start automatically downloading in Windows Update. In addition, if Windows 11 looks for updates in the background in itself, the update can also start downloading automatically.
Microsoft tells us: “The devices that execute start and pro editions of Windows 11, versions 23h2, 22h2 and 21h2 that are not administered by the IT departments will receive the update of version 24h2 automatically.”
Of course, that means that most daily consumers (this will not happen in commercial environments, since IT staff manages the implementation of updates).
However, a ‘forced’ update, where 24h2 will be downloaded in the background, and emerges announcing that it is ready for installation, at that time, there is no turning back, it does not happen for everyone, in any way.
But in theory, you can, and Microsoft will force any update given to its PC eventually. As the software giant makes it clear in another part of its frequent Windows Update questions: “You cannot stop the updates completely, because they help maintain your safe and safe device, the updates must eventually settle and download, regardless of your update configuration.”
In the home of Windows 11, it does not have much space to maneuver, but what you can do is stop the updates (temporarily, to buy some time) when it appears in Windows Update. In addition, be sure to have not selected the option of ‘obtain Windows updates as soon as they are available for your device’ (in Windows update> Advanced options) Because that will mark all the updates on your PC as soon as possible.
(I must keep in mind that Windows Last provides some instructions on how to falsify its path to avoid 24h2 update, but that process enters technical weeds and implies resuscitating elements that Microsoft has stripped its desk operating system, so it would not really inform this course of action).
In summary, it is time to prepare for the 24h2 version on its Windows 11 PC in a short time, which could be a concern for some people given the amount of errors and complaints of all kinds of oddities that have been associated with this particular characteristics update. However, Microsoft must have enough confidence so that it has been beaten in a better way at this time, to open the 24h2 update to this wide general implementation.
