"...if you use a USB or drive to install Windows 11 24H2 with the October 2024 or November 2024 security updates included, you might end up breaking Windows Update. By default, Windows 11 24H2 ships without October or November security patches."....according to this new article published Dec 25, 2024: Source: windowslatest.com/2024/12/25/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-24h2-installation-issues-newer-updates-fail-for-some-pcs/ Also: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-24H2#3469msgdesc 1) So can anyone confirm if this also applies to latest ISOs from the MSFT Volume Licensing Service Center and then loaded on USB drive via Rufus? 2) The Microsoft link above also says to ensure installing "Windows 11, version 24H2, includes the December 2024 monthly security update (released December 10, 2024), or later" as a workaround. Does this mean the latest December 2024 Windows 24H2 ISO posted in the following thread by @adguard doesn't have this issue?
a follow up on this - Microsoft recently revised this note on Feb. 6 saying the problem is "resolved" Source: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/resolved-issues-windows-11-24h2#3469msgdesc Resolved: 2025-02-06, 17:00 PT Opened: 2024-12-24, 11:20 PT
