Windows 11 24H2 is a long-awaited update that brings a range of functions. Among the significant new features are additional options in Copilot+, enhancements to the taskbar and File Explorer, and new mechanisms to improve Wi-Fi privacy. As is often the case, updates can cause issues, and Windows 11 24H2 is no exception.
Problems with Windows 11 24H2
Problems after the update's rollout concerned the initial computer setup, with untranslated interface elements potentially appearing. However, the issue affected users who did not previously opt for the optional KB5043178 update. Unfortunately, it seems this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Another issue is a Windows Update system file with a size of over 9 gigabytes, which, for some reason, does not delete itself. Internet users have noted that traditional methods of deleting the file do not achieve the desired effect.
SSDs not cooperating with Windows 11 24H2
Other issues include the cursor disappearing and a general slowdown in system performance after the update. There is also no shortage of the so-called blue screens of death, which some users of Western Digital SSDs have encountered.
According to Windows Latest, the problem affects some users of WD Black SN770 and WD Blue SN580 drives. It is advisable to be patient and wait for further instructions from official sources.
