- A new update for Windows 11 24h2 cannot install for some
- While this has happened before, the reports seem more frequent with the July update
- There are also other concerns, such as overheating problems and mouse behavior.
The last Windows 11 update (for version 24h2) refuses to install for some people, which is not a new problem, and there are dispersed reports from other problems related to the July update.
Windows reported that he suffered an installation failure itself, for which the update seemed to work, but when restarting to finish, Windows 11 ended up rolling the update (with an error).
Numerous readers of the technology site have echoed that experience, with the July update that failed completely for them (without reaching the restart phase) or getting stuck before reaching 100%. There are other reports of the update that really freeze the PC, which also requires a hard restart.
In addition to that, there are multiple complaints on Reddit about installation failures, all of which are happening with the usual strange and useless error codes (such as ‘0x8007371b’ to choose an example, which means precisely nothing, and the Google will not help).
In that Reddit thread, there are also several reports of all kinds of problems, some of which can only affect individual users, and that can be atypical with their system, but there are some notable errors that appear repeatedly.
They include the stuttering of a user’s mouse after applying the update, or the “mouse flashing the load icon every two seconds”, as well as general performance problems, and crepitant audio in a couple of cases.
Some people also find heat -related problems, with a complaint that the update made an execution of the Snapdragon X Plus laptop. Another person said that his notebook is also fighting with heat and high use of GPU, and others observed high temperatures of the CPU.
There are also a few problems reported with peripherals and USB docks.
Finally, Microsoft said that a problem with the Windows 11 firewall for which they are registration errors that are actually false, has been resolved with the July update, but many users claim that it has not done so.
Then, if you see errors related to the Firewall, I would simply ignore them. The good thing is that this is a completely harmless mistake, and nothing is really bad with the system firewall. Error messages itself are errors, ironically.
ANALYSIS: Watch attentive to these errors
While complaints about the fault updates are not uncommon, there seems to be more than normal with this most recent update for Windows 11. Well, so the probabilities are not much that you do not find this error, and it is likely that they are still relatively isolated incidents in the biggest image. However, the fact that these problems seem more frequent than usual remains a red flag.
If you find an installation failure of this type, you can try to manually install the July update (from the Microsoft updates catalog). I would not recommend that to anyone but Windows 11 users more knowledgeable about technology, Mind: For most people, I only suggest you wait until Microsoft solves installation problems. Yes, it will be without the last security patches for a while, which is not ideal, so keep that in mind and be safer in terms of your navigation habits (or other computers).
(There is also no guarantee that a manual installation works, it is worth remembering: some in Reddit have observed that only a complete reinstallation of Windows 11 made the trick for them, which is obviously a very drastic step.
The promised Firewall solution, which does not work, is strange, although a solution that does not really solve an error as intended is not the first for Microsoft. Still, it is not a real problem, as noted.
Some of the overheating problems are much more worrying, but since the reports are still relatively thin in the soil, we still cannot reach conclusions. However, it is definitely worth monitoring these to see if more complaints appear in these lines. The same goes for erratic mouse behavior and problems with USB peripherals.
