Windows 11 Home 24H2 RP
A few months ago I purchased a Dell Inspiron 3530 laptop. Nice machine but a bit bloated as usual so I decided the time was now right to do a clean install. It's been on the Release Preview cycle and had got to the current 24H2 level 26100.2152 with no real issues.

The clean install went well. Seemed much better - C drive much reduced in usage, used memory at start up down 1-2 GB etc. But a couple of things had changed.

I've always shared the D drive on my machines so that I can transfer data between them, and I've always had the machines in the house with the network set to private and not public. But after the clean install, the laptop's D drive could not be linked to. Eventually I had to set it to public so that the link would work. A second real issue was with the Skygo application which we use here in the UK to watch TV programs from Sky. After the re-install it just locks up once you select as program and appears to be looping. Wife's desktop PC, which I'd clean installed a couple of days earlier (with pemission!) now had the same problem. So different hardware completely, but same problem.

Having taken Macrium backup images, I temporarily restored that on the desktop and now Skygo works again. Also restored the image on the laptop and Skygo now works again also. In both cases old and new software levels are 26100.2152 with no tweaks or mods.

And having reset the laptop back, I couldn't link its D drive until I set the network back to private.

So I'm concerned that a clean install to same level as already exists results in signifcant changes like this.

Anyone else experienced this?

Are you using local accounts with no password? If so you'll find 24H2 introduces tighter security restrictions.

In 24H2 tighter security restrictions that were previously only enforced in Enterprise and above are now on by default in Pro. Insecure logins are not allowed by default, you now cannot connect to another PC if you have a local account with no password.

There are two ways to connect. The first is to create a Windows Credential for an account with a password on that other PC.

The second is to turn off the restriction on insecure logins....
Win11 24H2 Installed, now no network sharing - post #2

I recently clean installed 24H2 Home. Against expectations it had the same restriction as Pro, an account with no password cannot connect to shares on any other PC. Unlike Pro though, there is no gpedit.exe to be able to change this. To allow insecure outgoing connections, open Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters. Create a new DWORD, name it RequireSecuritySignature and set its value to 0. This value exists in 23H2 Home but was missing in 24H2 Home.
Windows 11 cannot access other computers, but can be accessed by the other computers - post #34

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, and 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2.

    unsupported machine: Legacy bios, MBR, TPM 1.2, upgraded from W10 to W11 using W10/W11 hybrid install media workaround. In-place upgrade to 22H2 using ISO and a workaround. Feature Update to 23H2 by manually installing the Enablement Package. In-place upgrade to 24H2 using hybrid 23H2/24H2 install media.

Hi there - thanks for responding. I have 3 PCs, one laptop and two desktops, that are linked together. They all use the same local account but always with password. I also use an MS account which is defined for use everywhere. Have just checked the wife's PC which was clean installed. I have an account there to allow me to do maintenance. Again the network now has to be public to be able to connect whereas it was private before the clean install.

The concern I have is that a system that has been updated to 24H2 via Windows Update is behaving differently to one that got to the same level vis s clean install. I appreciate the Dell came with W11 23H2 pre-installed, but the wife's PC is one I built myself.

Did you install all windows updates, to the PC you did a clean install of 24H2?

I had networking problems when I upgraded to 24H2 using the installation .iso.

Everything was fixed after installing all windows updates, and then doing a restart.

Yes all updates were done, so ending up with 2152 level as before.

Yes I'm Release Preview, so this 2152 level will most likely roll out to everyone next patch Tuesday.

Welcome to Eleven Forum p5200.

This SFC bug is in the RTM builds of 24H2 too, it was first see with build 26100.1882 and has not been fixed yet. We will have to wait until Patch Tuesday to see if it will (ever) be fixed...

, the SFC never-ending 'fixed' repeat issue is entirely due to KB5043178. No issues in 26100.1742....

A few months ago I purchased a Dell Inspiron 3530 laptop. Nice machine but a bit bloated as usual so I decided the time was now right to do a clean install. It's been on the Release Preview cycle and had got to the current 24H2 level 26100.2152 with no real issues.

The clean install went well. Seemed much better - C drive much reduced in usage, used memory at start up down 1-2 GB etc. But a couple of things had changed.

I've always shared the D drive on my machines so that I can transfer data between them, and I've always had the machines in the house with the network set to private and not public. But after the clean install, the laptop's D drive could not be linked to. Eventually I had to set it to public so that the link would work.
Eventually found out the cause of this. 24H2 has changed the defaults for allowing Apps through a firewall so it now looks lilke this:

As you can see, the option File and Printer Sharing (Restricted) is disabled for private networks. But only if you clean install 24H2. My systems that have been updated to 24H2 from 23H2 retain the 23H2 default of this option being enabled. One to bear in mind for the future when considering a clean install.
