The good news was not long in coming. Microsoft had to block Windows 11 24H2 again because it can affect the proper functioning Modems, printers and scanners connected via USB. If you are not using this type of device then there is nothing to worry about, but there are many people who have this type of solution connected to their computers and therefore will be affected by this problem.

Early information suggests that this bug affects both Windows 11 ARM users and Windows 11 x64-x86 users, which means that It’s a general failure and it is not limited to one of these two versions. Microsoft confirms that the problem is related to the eSCL protocol, as it is “broken” in Windows 11 24H2.

As a result, connected devices cannot switch to USB mode if necessary and a conflict will occur that will prevent modems, printers, and scanners connected in this way from working properly. All computers and laptops that may be affected by this conflict are blocked from updating to Windows 11 24H2.

The eSCL protocol, short for eScanner Communication Language, is a solution developed by Mopria that enables the use of printers and scanners. without the need to install drivers specific third parties.

Microsoft hasn’t said how it plans to fix the issue or how long it will take, but it will most likely modify Windows 11 24H2 with some type of patch. Please update once this issue is resolved will be available again for all teams affected by this blockade.

I remind you that this update caused so many problems that even has been blocked on computers that have specific Ubisoft games installed, which include Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

If you have any of these games installed you will not be able to update to Windows 11 24H2. Microsoft and Ubisoft are also working on a solution, but we don’t have a release date at this time.

To the Redmond giant with this update dwarves are growingwhich stood alone as one of the worst he’d released to date, and the bar was set very high. It’s a shame that after so many years with the Windows OS as a service model, Microsoft continues to make these mistakes.
