Has Anyone Else Faced Major Issues After Installing the Windows 11 24H2 Update?

Hi everyone,

I recently came across multiple reports about the Windows 11 24H2 update causing serious issues for many users — including Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) errors, system slowdowns, fingerprint sensor failures, and network connectivity problems. Some people also mentioned glitches like disappearing taskbars, broken clipboard history, and undeletable cache files after the update.

Microsoft has reportedly paused the rollout for certain devices, but I’m wondering:

Has anyone here personally experienced these issues after updating to Windows 11 24H2?

Were you able to find any workarounds or fixes?

Is it safer to hold off on this update for now, or has anyone found it stable on their system?

Would love to hear your experiences and any advice on how to handle or revert this update safely.

Thanks!

Yeah, you’re right — the Windows 11 24H2 update has been a bit rocky for some users, especially on systems with older or unsupported drivers. The BSoD and fingerprint sensor issues seem tied to outdated BIOS or Intel/AMD chipset drivers, while the taskbar and clipboard glitches often clear up after a clean reinstall of the update using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant instead of Windows Update. If your system’s running fine now, I’d hold off for a few weeks until Microsoft pushes a cumulative patch that stabilizes things. If you’ve already updated and are facing problems, try running “sfc /scannow” and “DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth”, and make sure your OEM drivers are current — that resolves most post-update quirks. Worst case, you can roll back via Settings > System > Recovery > Go back within 10 days of installing 24H2.
