Because many PC users are finding problems with the latest Windows 11 24H2 update, Microsoft has suspended the update for certain hardware and software configurations, BleedingComputer reported. implemented because various setups are causing “crashes, performance issues, freezes, and other unusual behavior.”

If your PC is one of the affected configurations, Windows will prevent installation of the 24H2 update until the compatibility issues are resolved through driver or software updates.

In particular, on Asus Vivobook Go X415KA and X515KA laptops, the update may cause a blue screen error; Asus has confirmed with Bleeding Computer that the models that do not receive the latest Windows update are due to compatibility Asus has confirmed with Bleeding Computer that the models that do not apply the latest Windows update are due to a compatibility error. This means that you will need to wait until Asus provides a firmware update before installing it.

If you are locked out of installing the 24H2 update, you can click the “More” link in the Windows Update section of your PC settings.

You will see text like this: “Your device has received an upgrade to Window 11. Nothing currently requires your attention. You can check this page to see when your device is ready for the update.” And a link that explains what compatibility hold affects your PC.

Here are the current compatibility holds:

Easy Anti-Cheat is popular with many game publishers and has become a requirement for playing certain online multiplayer games, such as the wildly popular Fortnite.

Running games that utilize Easy Anti-Cheat can cause updates to cause system crashes. In particular, it hits PCs with Intel's Alder Lake processors and Intel vPro technology.

Attempting to update games or drivers may cause Microsoft to release the hold.

If the device has a fingerprint sensor, the update may cause the fingerprint sensor to stop responding.

Microsoft is supposed to release a firmware update to resolve this issue.

Apparently Intel Smart Sound Technology causes an error every time Windows 11 is updated.

With the 24H2 update, PCs running the SST driver may experience blue screen errors with certain driver versions 10.29.0.5152 and 10.30.0.5152.

These Intel SST drivers must be installed: 10.30.00.5714 or 10.29.00.5714 or later. After driver installation, it may take up to 48 hours for the hold to be released.

If you are using the Voicemeeter application, a virtual audio mixer app that allows you to manage and mix audio from various inputs, the update may cause a blue screen error.

You may receive a memory management error when opening the application. This is likely due to an incompatibility error between the Voicemeeter driver and the Windows 11 memory manager.

The developer, VB-Audio Software, needs to push a driver fix to resolve this.

Wallpaper customization apps may encounter issues including missing wallpapers and interrupted desktop previews.

As mentioned for some of these issues, one should wait until the manufacturer or developer pushes out a firmware fix. It also means that you should not manually update to 24H2. If affected, it can cause freezes, system crashes, and blue screen errors.

You should check for new updates to specific software and drivers. Once they are updated, hopefully a 24H2 update block will be released.

Perhaps most of these issues will be resolved in the future, but it is really a question of when.
