Windows 11 24H2: The Update That Keeps on Glitching
When using media to install Windows 11 24H2, be prepared for a surprise: your device might refuse further security updates. This bug, exclusive to installations with October or November 2024 security updates, doesn’t affect updates from Windows Update or Microsoft Update Catalog. To avoid this, use the December 2024 update.

Hot Take:
Oh Microsoft, you’ve done it again! Just when we thought we’d overcome the trials and tribulations of upgrading to Windows 11, you’ve served us an extra spicy conundrum. If installing from CDs and USBs wasn’t archaic enough, now they come with the added thrill of sabotaging security updates. It’s like Windows 11 version 24H2 is the gift that keeps on giving—kinda like that fruitcake no one wanted for Christmas.
Key Points:
- Microsoft warns of a bug preventing security updates when using CD/USB for Windows 11, version 24H2 installation.
- The issue affects media containing October and November 2024 security updates but not December 2024 updates.
- Security updates via Windows Update or Microsoft Update Catalog are unaffected.
- 24H2 has a history of causing issues like audio glitches, game crashes, and compatibility problems.
- Microsoft is working on a fix and recommends using the December 2024 update for installations.
