Microsoft began mandatory rollouts of the Windows 11 2024 Update (24H2) for eligible devices running Home and Pro editions, the company announced on its Windows 11 issues page. The update, which Microsoft describes as a “full code swap,” requires longer installation times, with users reporting processes exceeding an hour.

While users can briefly postpone the installation, the company is now pushing updates to mainstream users not managed by IT departments. The 24H2 update introduces USB4’s 80Gbps support, Bluetooth LE Audio for hearing aids, and enhanced Energy Saver controls.
