Microsoft issued a warning that users who installed Windows 11 24H2 via a CD or USB drive may not receive security updates.


This problem only affects users who installed Windows 11 24H2 on bootable media with either the October or November 2024 security patches.


The fix for the Windows 11 24H2 issue is to reinstall the OS and ensure the December 2024 security patch is included.


In early February, Microsoft warned some Windows 11 users who installed the 24H2 version update via a bootable USB drive or a disc would not receive future security updates.


Microsoft stated that affected users could fix the problem by reinstalling Windows 11 version 24H2 and ensuring it includes the December 2024 security updates, not the October or November 2024 update files.

This is not the first time that Microsoft has hit a sour note with users, as a past Windows 11 major update was shown to slow the performance of games across the board.


However, this latest issue does not affect users who install Windows 11 system updates via the Settings app or Microsoft Update Catalog website, including users who downloaded the problematic October and November 2024 security patches.

With Windows 11 now passing three years on the market, devices like the Meta Quest 3 VR headset have confirmed support for Microsoft's current OS.


As the development of Windows 11 continues, only time will tell what features will be added in 2025.
