The former (Auto HDR) would seem to be a quite common setting and matches my safeguard id

I've got that Auto HDR issue on my desktop PC (safeguard ID: 55382406). It is easily mitigated as explained by MS.

UPDATE 12/18:
New known issues mitigated. See first post for more details.

Auto HDR might cause games to stop responding or display incorrect colors
This issue happens on devices running Windows 11, version 24H2 when gamers play with Auto HDR enabled.

AND

Some devices that have Dirac Audio with cridspapo.dll might lose audio output
Affected devices will not be offered the update to Windows 11, version 24H2 until this issue is resolved

Although the MS Known Issues page shows them as Mitigated, disabling Auto HDR removes a valuable W11 feature. I've had little success enabling the HDR "filter" added with the Nvidia App - one success with a Steam game but none with Windows Store (Game Pass) games - and now a performance hit has emerged - whereas Auto HDR is reliable and useful. For the Dirac issue, although likely less common, I can't spot any work-around mentioned at all.

Perhaps they ought to list these as "Confirmed" for now.

Well, I disabled Incredibuild and two days later got the 24H2 update. I installed it this morning. We shall see how it goes.

In the software industry, "Mitigated" does not equate to "Resolved". It simply means MS provided a short-term fix/workaround to stop the crashing or bad behavior, while they and/or partners work on a more general solution.

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 KB5044284 / KB5046617 can't install new updates

Issues might occur with media which installs the October or November update

When using media to install Windows 11, version 24H2, the device might remain in a state where it cannot accept further Windows security updates. This occurs only when the media is created to include the October 2024, or November 2024, security updates as part of the installation (these updates were released between October 8, 2024 and November 12, 2024).

Please note, this only occurs when utilizing media - such as CD and USB flash drives - to install Windows 11, version 24H2. This issue does not occur for devices where the October 2024 security update or the November 2024 security updates are installed via Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog website.

Workaround: To prevent issues, do not install Windows 11, version 24H2 which installs the October 2024 or November 2024 security updates. Instead, ensure that media used to install Windows 11, version 24H2, includes the December 2024 monthly security update (released December 10, 2024), or later.

Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide more information when it is available.

Affected platforms:

Client: Windows 11, version 24H2
Server: None

What a nightmare of an update. This is laughingly bad. Holy ****

I'm staying away from this update with a ten foot pole. I will smack it away until it is actually finished.

Get your act together microsoft. We know that "official list" of broken stuff is not the only stuff broken.

I can't even install from USB media at all, if the ISO has been modified.

My usual workflow is to:

1. Use UUP to create an up to date ISO
2. Use Hyper-V to install and configure.
3. Use DISM to capture the image.
4. Use deployment tools to author a new ISO.
5. Install on a system

But, this gets to about 10% of the blue installing screen, and then craps out with a Windows 11 installation failed alert.
I thought it was my USB, so I tried the bog standard Oct release, that works fine. It's basically any ISO that's been modified via UUP/DISM/Rufus that seems to fail.

I really don't want to have to go through all the fine-tuning of settings/app installations again, does anyone have any workarounds or knowledge I'm lacking here?

playing around i found out that (not sure if there is a thread as i didn't see one):

File Explorer Option: Restore Previous Folder Windows at Logon Works IF you have
Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options > Automatically save my restartable apps and restart them when i sign back in = DISABLED

if the Setting is Enabled, the Restore does not work. it's like it has to be one or the other...

EDIT:

just tested this on my main 23h2 rig and it works as well. so the Restore at logon (which has been broken for a LONG TIME) is now functional again... just not with Restartable apps on simultaneously

Only with 23H2 though, the feature isn't available on 24H2 yet.

Oop's my bad, I was thinking of restore previous TABS on login which I had with the recent Beta build of 23H2. Sorry about that. It was a nice feature I don't have on 24H2.

Build 26120.3073 (24H2) bricked my audio and Bluetooth. I'm rolling back to 23H2 Beta, a new update was released a couple hours ago.

Caledon Ken · Feb 4, 2025

Think there was a fix for this in the Jan (late in the month) optional updates. Patch Tuesday in January caused havoc. Included in the havoc was webcams.

Patch Tuesday January

and potential fix

Edit: the potential fix did not fix my camera issue and the optional update took out another external webcam on another system.
