Windows 11, version 24H2 [First Release to Pubic on 1 October 2024]
The Windows 11 2024 Update (also known as version 24H2 is the third and current major update to Windows 11. It carries the build number 10.0.26100.
Overview
The first preview was released to Insiders who opted in to the Canary and Dev Channels on February 8, 2024. The update began rolling out for Copilot Plus PCs on June 15, 2024.[5] As of build 26052, the version string has been changed from "23H2" to "24H2". The update began rolling out to all users on October 1, 2024.
24H2 notably introduces the first Windows 11 based Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) editions, along with new subscription variants of IoT Enterprise editions (both LTSC and non-LTSC).
Furthermore, 24H2 introduces modified system requirements, for some systems, for the first time since the release of Windows 11, as follows:
A x86-64-v2 CPU supporting POPCNT, otherwise the Windows kernel is unbootable.[8] (Only affecting systems bypassing or exempt from the TPM 2.0 requirement.)
IoT Enterprise editions (LTSC and non-LTSC) have officially eliminated a TPM and UEFI requirement, and dropped the minimum DirectX version down to 10 (version 12 was previously required on 23H2).
The new IoT Enterprise LTSC edition drops the minimum required RAM down to 2 GB, and storage space down to 16 GB.
ARMv8.1 is now required, dropping unofficial support for ARMv8.0.
The update will reach end of service on October 13, 2026 for Home, Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations and SE editions.[11] The Enterprise, Enterprise multi-session, IoT Enterprise and Education editions will reach end of service on October 12, 2027.
The Enterprise LTSC and IoT Enterprise LTSC editions will reach end of service on October 9, 2029 and October 10, 2034, respectively.

Windows 11 HDR backdrop support: It allows users to activate HDR background support if they have an HDR monitor. This option can be found in the settings app..
New Bluetooth LE audio and Wi-Fi 7 have been introduced, adding support for the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology, which enhances data transfer speeds. Additionally, Bluetooth LE audio is now supported. The update also includes a refresh button for Wi-Fi networks and an indication of scan progress..
Better Windows 11 Search: Microsoft has also made improvements to Windows' search capabilities. Users can now search for documents and photos using descriptive phrases rather than specific file names.
Super Resolution: Photographs may be enhanced by users without sacrificing quality. It supports scaling resolution up to 8x, employing AI upscaling capabilities. It will function more quickly if users have Copilot+PCs..
Windows Recall (preview): This feature lets users find content they have already viewed. When Microsoft first introduced the recall function, the business received a lot of negative feedback. As a result, the feature has been delayed and is currently in preview. The feature requires Windows Hello for secure access because it may display sensitive data. The company has also included a sensitive information filter to protect personal data. A user has the option to disable the recall feature if they choose not to use it.
Windows Studio Effects: In order to improve audio and video calling, users can now apply Windows Studio effects to their webcams and microphones. Microsoft Teams is one of the supported applications, along with Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, and the Microsoft Camera app. Users can apply effects including backdrop blur, eye correction, portrait lighting, and illustrative filters.
Windows Click to Do (Preview): Click to Do provides an interactive PC screen overlay and expedites chores. It has several functions for tasks including text summarizing or sending, blending backgrounds in pictures, and using Bing for visual search.

aha. interesting.
wtf?
They say brevity is the sister of talent..
I can force update to 24H2 using Windows 11 Installation Assistant, since it is not available to me using regular update method.
Is this update mostly about copilot + AI features? I feel like maybe I don't need it since I prefer alternative AI not copilot.
They should've released a version of windows that lets you select which AI to use =P. copilot kinda poopy to me.

Took me 10 whole minutes using the "Windows 11 Installation Assistant"
Didn't bother with ISO's
Yes its snappier too now.
@angstrom can you change to general topic?
I have a new icon in my tray called "Microsoft Power Automate".
I want to try it and see what all I can do with the AI Automate, but I have an issue, it requires onedrive.
I removed all of onedrive features, including blocking it, uninstalling it, and erasing traces of it using powershell.
Need to figure out how to undo something I did years ago.
Go into windows apps and install it or go to settings and install onedrive.
Moved thread from Offtopic to News
