- The last two patches for Windows 11 24h2 are causing user problems
- Supposedly, the most affected hardware is the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
- Game locks and deceleration seem to be exclusive to the latest updates
Some Windows 11 24h2 users have been experiencing some problems, including deceleration and even blocking, with people quickly blaming the last update of the popular operating system.
As seen by Neowin, two of the most recent Windows 11 24H2 (KB5050094 and KB5051987) have caused blocking and instability problems. The Newin forum user, Kiddingguy, observed for the first time that the game is blocked with the last update that stops the settlers: new allies in Ubisoft Connect, but others have experienced very worse problems since then.
Writing on Borncity, a Windows 11 24h2 user who executes an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor on an Asrock Z890 pro RS motherboard could only make the freshly built system run with a beta BIOS. The lack of launch was attributed to the update of the Intel microcode integrated into the BIOS, although the latest version of Windows 11 was installed as normal.
The performance problems were not stopped once the new hardware was either operational. With Windows 11 24h2, it is stated that a “new mass performance problem” was affecting the system as soon as a program was minimized or not the main “approach.” It is claimed that the applications are “greatly strangled”, so much that the CPU clock rate even decreased. Screen catches show differences in use.
It could be said that the most worrying thing about the impact of the two most recent Windows 11 patches is the fact that this user was able to replicate problems with different applications. These include 7zip and prime95, which shows that it does not seem to be linked to any specific program with incompatibility or stability problems with KB5050094 or KB5051987.
The user affirms that the performance at the 7zip reference point was effectively reduced when minimizing the program and that the distribution of the workload in all available nuclei (for which the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K has 24 in total) did not allevate the problem. A solid solution has not yet been implemented, apart from a solution to force the maximum energy saving plan to boost the “CPU complete performance” in the background processes, which is far from being ideal for long -term use.
Interestingly, it is stated that the same problems did not happen with the AMD Ryzen 9950x processor as he did with the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, nor with the largest Intel Core I9-12900K. Because of this, it is possible that most of the severe problems can be specific to Intel’s last LGA 1851 platform, but this does not seem to be as widespread as the software that is blocked and the incompatibilities that are seen so far.
To verify the compatibility of its processor with Windows 11 24h2, you can read through the official list of processors compatible with Microsoft, which describes the CPU AMD, Intel and Qualcomm that is confirmed that it is executed without problems. If you are experiencing any deceleration or blocks, then it can be time to return to an earlier version of the operating system until things begin to stabilize.
Windows 11 problems continue
Recently, it seems that there has been no shortage of problems with Windows 11, with the 24h2 version of the operating system that has some outstanding problems. In addition to the newly informed block and deceleration, this variant of the operating system included more advertising in the configuration menu, high use of the CPU of the task administrator and remembers consisting of supporting things.
Another strange Windows 11 24h2 error even presented half of the interface shown in a language, with the last half mixed in another. Apparently, this fault was linked to a defective installation where two language options were placed together, something that was previously unknown until last month.
Of course, artificial deceleration and software blockages are more severe than advertising, strangulation and language errors, but culminates in a user experience that has been less than ideal since the most recent version is implemented on October 1, 2024. The two most recent problematic patches are optional, at least, so if you are having problems with them, we recommend reverting to a previous version (more stable) stable).
