How many are using 24h2? Problems still?

Did you update to 24h2? How did it go?

Compared with what?
With every previous iteration of Win 11 and whatever was the 10 version I have moved off with 11. 21H1 I believe. I obviously cannot speak for every game I have played on this PC since I don’t make a habit of having all of them installed and re-tested with every major update (I am not THAT autistic) but things that I play regularly like OW, D2R, Grim Dawn, HoMM3 and 5, UT2004, SWTOR and several others all perform within a margin of error. Note that I have, in fact, not had any HW changes since I built this rig and installed first 10 and then shortly after 11. So it’s all been stable on that front. I had NV driver versions have more of an impact in some circumstances than an 11 OS update ever did.
 
Only made by you it seems. Same goes for you. A lot of people have issues with 24h2. Period.
Nobody is denying that 24h2 has issues. You also seem to have some.
 
Please stop blaming the user.
I'll blame what I deem appropriate. Sure there are issues with 24H2, however, none of the known issues are directly attributed to gaming performance. Additionally, some people configure Windows in a less than optimal way. I was also raising an eyebrow to the comments being made. More than a bit sus to me.

Whatever it is, some people are having issues. Most are not.

I've been on 24H2 for two days. Last night, I played about an hour of COD. I browsed the internet, including YouTube. I remoted into work for about 10 minutes. Internet speed tests are nominal.

I have not noticed one single negative issue. It's no different than it was before.
It's now Jan 4 2025 Still on 24H2 @home, still zero issues. I've also updated 11 PC's at work to 24H2 no issues there. All have varying configs and specs.
 
What issues? File corruption? That was a major issue with especially 26100.2033 and the update before that. '2033 was the worst final (non-beta or preview) 11 update in history! It resulted in people blocking updating and staying with 26100.1742.

OTOH, 24H2 as of lately, updates better than 23H2 and earlier. I usually have to fix stuff on a clean install with 23H2 and earlier. (My non-gaming testing of 24H2)
After doing a clean install of 24H2, Assassins Creed Valhalla and Hogwarts legacy wouldn't run with a 5800x3d and 4090. Sometimes if I left a windowed program on the screen (notepad, etc) when my monitor returned from sleep whatever program it was would be full screen and unminimizable so I'd have to ctrl-alt-del and sign out and then sign in to get back to my desktop. I have no such problems on 23H2 so I've restored my 23H2 install and locked it to 23H2 with GRC's InControl.
 
I get terrible frame-pacing / stutters in CS2 / DOTA 2 when using Windows 11 24h2.

I've always had these kind of issues that happen randomly so it's hard to reproduce.

Windows 10 has better frame-times and is way smoother for me.

Same settings, same drivers, everything updated etc.

5800x3d / RTX 4070 / 32 GB 3600MHZ.
Watch this video, it may be relevant.
 
1) Sometimes I can't delete pictures after viewing them in Photos app unless I terminate COM Surrogate from task manager which gas quickly become annoying.

2) File Explorer has become laggy af. Previously in W10, I could search for files, delete some of the files, hit refresh and search result would say, "no results found" or some shit. Now it just crashes file explorer and needs a restart from task manager.

I am using Tiny11 build though so can anyone confirm if these are also problems in stick W11? Otherwise I might just go back to W10.

Thanks. I recently stumbled against these kind of issues. I personally uninstalled MSI / RTSS altogether to see if it fixes my 24h2 issues but it doesn't unfortunately :)

I still have these frame-spikes / frame-time issues MOSTLY in CS2. But the general consensus from the videos I have seen is that Windows 11 24h2 has worse 1% and 0.1% lows vs Windows 10 22h2, meaning Windows 10 22h2 is smoother.

My example is here - observe how the frame-time jump to 30ms randomly on Windows 11 24h2 and observe how smooth is on Windows 10 22h2.

1) Reinstall Photos, this stupid app can be a problem for any version of Windows.

2) It's an Nvidia issue, but you can try DDU+New driver and see if that will fix it, or just switch to an AMD card where File Explorer is far snappier :P

I'll let you know if it works. I just aired it out not expecting any solution.

I suggest installing stock 11 in a VM or something so you can quickly test, generally these pre modified ISOs with removed components are a bad idea.
 
I''m building a new AMD AM5 gaming system (9700x/X670E + 6800 RX), and was hoping to install W11 on it.
Should I be worried about the 24H2 as I can't seem to find a trust worthy version of 23H2 yet :/
MS only has the 24H2 media creator on their site now...
Should I look at a Win10 install and wait?

You can't go wrong with Windows 10 22h2.

But note that the last support date is Oct. 2025.

Currently I re-installed Windows 11 24h2 to reproduce some issues I have in game on it, Windows 10 is faster even on desktop usage...wtf.

It seems that AM4 is less likely to have major issues with 24H2, ironically! It's more likely to take a dump on AM5, strangely!

It's possible that 22H2 is the best version of 10! Seemed that sometime before 22H2, 10, in benchmarks shown, would have lower average FPS and/or %1 minimum FPS.

24H2 was lightning-bolt-fast with desktop usage on my A320 build with Ryzen 7 3700X. (My B450 got un-usably borked)

Culpa mía! Here we go again!

Forgot to mention the horrible latency the system has - mostly due to the nvidia drivers on Windows 11 24h2:

Look at the latency on Windows 10 22h2, while and after playing a match of CS2:

Now look at the latency of Windows 11 24h2 - same config, same drivers, same game, same settings etc.:

Around an hour ago I copied a hole folder. A while later I wanted to delete it. I can't.

That's ridicolous to be unable to delete files with only a single offline user Windows 11 pro installation. This is a fresh installation when i bought the hardware in may 2023.

It seems that folder does not exists. I checked visually the folder with ls. I sorted in this gui with the date motified field.

Regardless - when the folder does not exists - than it'S a visual bug + false error code bug.

both should never happen. expected behaviour = all files deleted; a folder is also a file.; no error message pop up box.

I'm forced to do more windows 11 pro updates in two days.

Last time the official monthly update package for windows 11 pro refused to install. I'm on a metered connection. My download is costly. Last time I did the update over the internet.

I doubt my KC3000 2TB drive has an issue. I would see it on this gnu gentoo linux installation in daily usage / backups / and other file tasks.

windows is unable to give a proper error code. I see those popups also with a gibberish hex code (thats a number format) for the failed windows upgrade packages also.

Hasn't on my system, at all. Smooth sailing.
 
The error can be reproduced after a windows warm boot a few minutes ago.

I could not find the folder.

To clarify if that folder exists - I just copied it.
If that folder existed - the folder name should have been different named.

Than I wanted to delete it. Nope.

(left bottom is the error message. top left i did the last - to check if i the dialog window comes for delete yes / no)

That folder does not show up with ls or caja in gnu gentoo linux.
 
If you don't see it under Linux, it may be a temporary directory that is created when Windows starts.
But if you really want to delete it (at your own risk), you can do so under Windows with this Take Ownership
 
Just want to add CPU-Z 2.10.0.x64 works fine under 24H2.
but, what is the point? there is 2.13.. it's not the case when "old" is "better", IMHO
