Microsoft’s AutoCAD Comedy: Windows 11 Update Finally Plays Nice!
Microsoft has lifted the compatibility hold for AutoCAD 2022 users, allowing them to install the Windows 11 2024 Update without crashing into a wall of errors. Just update to AutoCAD 2022.1.4 or higher, and you’ll be smooth sailing—or drafting—once more. Remember, patience is a virtue, but restarting your PC can be a shortcut!
Hot Take:
Ah, Microsoft and Autodesk, the dynamic duo we didn’t know we needed! Who knew Windows updates could double as crash courses in patience for AutoCAD 2022 users? It seems AutoCAD 2022 had a bad case of ‘blueprints blues’ with Windows 11, but fear not, the tech wizards have waved their magic wands (or maybe just updated some lines of code) to save the day. So, dear architects and designers, you can now get back to designing the future without your software throwing a tantrum every time you hit ‘launch’! But seriously, who else misses the good old days when updates meant a new look for Solitaire or a snazzy screensaver?
Key Points:
- Microsoft removed a compatibility hold for AutoCAD 2022 users with Windows 11 24H2.
- The issue affected only AutoCAD 2022, not newer releases like 2023, 2024, or 2025.
- Autodesk released an update (AutoCAD 2022.1.4 S182.0.0) fixing the crash problem.
- The Windows 11 update may take 48 hours to appear post AutoCAD update, but a reboot can help.
- Microsoft recently fixed other compatibility issues, including BIOS updates for ASUS and Auto HDR gaming blocks.
