Solved 24H2 is awful


Status
Not open for further replies.
Updated via Installation Assistant on October 1st to 24H2

Only issue i had is the SFC /scannow issue (but that will be fixed soon as they release the update for Current Channel(Release Channel) whatever its called lol

The undeletable 8.63GB i'm sure will be solved at some point

Haven't tried Windows Sandbox or more advanced features or Bitlocker, or any of that stuff

Game wise all performing perfectly, though i'll admit i haven't tested every single one yet, but will test another tomorrow and if time the final game that i haven't even opened yet lol

About to test HP Printer scanning to make sure works fine scanning in Documents, i think it will, not anticipating any issues

I always update or upgrade to a new OS build soon as released, and install all Windows Updates (Optional and Non Optional) No OS Mods or Hacks done

Most of the time i have no issues, and if i do have issue with something, i find out how to fix it or wait for a fix, i typically don't go back to Previous version of Windows

If you go to settings -> privacy and security. there will be an entry for Device Encryption under the Security tab if your build supports it. My desktops on 24H2 don't have it, but the Laptop I've just clean-installed does. All my PCs are Home edition.

Wait. BitLocker DRIVE encryption vs DEVICE encryption. I want to make sure my HARD DRIVE encryption is OFF so I can play around with 24H2 and 23H2 (in case 24H2 breaks and return back to 23H2 from image backup)

Yes, but as with everything 'Windows' there are many ways to achieve the same ends. I like the simplicity of using a command prompt :wink:

Re 'awful' versions of Windows. Is there anyone else who is old enough to remember Window Millenium Edition (aka ME) the last of the DOS versions of Windows. Now that was truly dreadful. :sick:

It was mercifully replaced by XP.
For reasons I don't remember, I skipped Windows ME. For me, Windows Vista was awful. I tried it, hated it and switched to Linux. If it wasn't for Windows 7, I'm not sure if I would have come back to Windows.

From PParks 5:43 am:

Edit: oh yeah, it's because I didn't use a Microsoft account.

on clean install of 24H2 encrypting drives without initial specific user input (horror show, that).

Thanks for clearing that up. You've given a good deal of relief.

What a horrid little trap MS set for its' own commercial gain from the "STORE". My instinct has always been to avoid "signing up" to anything if at all possible - that includes an MS account.

after the actual nightmare of the upgrade itself on two AiO desktop systems 24H2 is now running OK.
the systems have the same minor problems as everyone else, SFC and the 16GB of unclearable files but it did give me the chance of partitioning my wife's system M2 type SSD. 250GB C: Windows and 750GB D: Home which is the first time that i have had an opportunity to do in nearly 2 years.
which should give a little bit more of a safe guard on all personal data.

now i will start on the laptops. best of luck, Steve ..

    …still on a horse.
i can only think that the latest update caused some BSOD in DCS, because I have not gotten BSOD in ages. I am one of those that find the updates with new stuff worthless rap I don't need. I am pissed. I wish I could offer proof. But seeing to how I never got the BSOD until the latest update, it must be the cause.

The following is what Copilot says about 24H2 and Encryption (I have highlighted some important sections in bold). I just wish I had known about it before performing a clean install of 24H2 (see my previous post).

Windows 11 version 24H2, the upcoming version of the OS, enables Bitlocker device encryption on a wider range of devices. This will happen even on devices running Windows 11 Home. Previously, the OS checked the BIOS settings for the OEM configuration. And in the Home edition, encryption was omitted. Also, the company has removed checks for Modern Standby/HSTI and DMA ports, so encryption is now automatically enabled on more devices during a clean install of Windows 11.

The user may not be aware that Windows has automatically encrypted their hard drives. If you subsequently need to reinstall the operating system, and the BitLocker recovery key is not saved, then all user data will be lost. This would not be that critical if Windows only encrypted the system drive (C:), and not all the drives.

Additionally, BitLocker encryption can have a significant impact on device performance, even when using ultra-fast SSDs such as PCIe Gen4 NVMe. The fact is that during read and write operations, Windows 11 is constantly encrypting and decrypting data. Performance losses can reach 45% in some of the scenarios.

If you are aware of the encryption existence, you can disable it under Settings > Security & Protection > Device Encryption. But if you are not aware, it can become an unexpected disaster. So it is a good idea to learn how to disable the feature.

Here are the steps you need to take in order to prevent Windows 11 from encrypting the drives during its setup.

.....

  1. When installing Windows 11, wait for the Region selection (OOBE).
    Region selection in OOBE
  2. On the Region and country screen, press Shift + F10.
  3. A command prompt will open. There, type reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BitLocker /v PreventDeviceEncryption /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f, and press Enter.
  4. Now type exit, or simply close the command prompt.
  5. Continue installing Windows 11 as usual. It won't encrypt your drive.
You are done!

I've come across some reports in Internet about potential issues with the WD SN770 and WD SN580 drives. I have one of these myself. So far, I've had good experiences with Windows 24H2 (26100.1882), but I'm not quite sure what the best next step would be. Should I disable updates, or is this something that only occurs in rare cases, like when using RAID?

For me, Windows Vista was awful. I tried it, hated it and switched to Linux. If it wasn't for Windows 7, I'm not sure if I would have come back to Windows.
Vista came with what was an even more broken CBS, IIRC. It was fixed with service packs. Windows Update was also more likely to fail with an error code, randomly, for important updates! Same with 7! :ffs: Even when it didn't seem as random as with 8x, as I traced the Windows 7 error code 0x80080005 issue to an early-2010s 7 update. With 7 SP1, you have to install one update at a time and reboot many times, just to work around the dreaded 0x80080005 bug. Yep, that means, install each update in chronological order!
