Windows 11 24H2 is one of the biggest updates that Microsoft has released so far for its latest operating system. As I told you a few days ago, it comes with such significant performance improvements that it affects even incompatible devices, but I also told you in this article that it is best to wait a reasonable amount of time before installing, because the types of updates tend to always come unresolved errors.

I was not wrong, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 24H2 has several problems that were not fixed before its release, and one of them is a bug that can end up generating a blue screen of death. To give you a clear idea, I have prepared a summary with all the bugs and issues confirmed in this new version of Windows 11.

Confirmed bugs in Windows 11 24H2

• Intel Smart Sound Technology driver issueswhich affects drivers 10.29.0.5152 and 10.30.0.5152 and can produce blue screens of death on Intel Core Gen 11 processors, to avoid them we need to install drivers 10.29.00.5714 or 10.30.00.5714 and above.
• This update breaks many apps wallpaper customization. Depending on the application we are using, the degree of impact will be more or less, and there is nothing we can do but wait for the release of patches to solve this problem.
• Problems playing Asphalt 8to such an extent that they can leave the game completely disabled. As in the previous case, all that remains is to wait for Gameloft to release a patch to fix the problem.
• Bugs in Easy Anti-Cheat, an anti-cheat application which is integrated into Fortnite and other very popular multiplayer games. The update causes conflicts with Intel Alder Lake processors and the Intel vPro platform.
• Problems with the secure exam browserwhich we can solve by installing version 3.8.0 which was launched on September 26th. All previous versions cause problems, but Microsoft confirms that they are fixed by updating to this version.
• Fingerprint reader failurea component that is present in many laptops and is used as a biometric authentication system. This will stop working and there is no solution recommended by Microsoft at this time.

What can I say, Microsoft’s quality control of Windows updates It’s not exactly that it shines. The Redmond company has gotten us used to the fact that whenever they release an update, it ends up arriving accompanied by major bugs, a reality that has led me to generally recommend that you never be the first to update your device.

It’s always the best wait a moment for these errors to go undetected and to be resolved. There is no minimum recommended time, but in my case I stopped updates for two months to avoid any problem, no matter how small it may be.
