Windows 11 Forces 24H2 Users to Update
3 Apr
Summary
- Windows 11 version 24H2 support ends October 13th.
- Mandatory update to 25H2 uses machine learning for rollout.
- IT-managed PCs are exempt from immediate forced updates.
Microsoft is initiating a forced upgrade for Windows 11 users currently on version 24H2, directing them to version 25H2. This update process is scheduled to begin soon for devices not managed by IT departments.
The company states the primary goal is to ensure all users receive the latest security patches. However, the reliance on unspecified machine learning criteria for the 'intelligent rollout' lacks transparency for users.
Support for Windows 11 version 24H2 is officially ending on October 13th. While users cannot completely avoid the update to 25H2, they will have the option to postpone it. PCs managed by IT departments are exempt from this immediate forced update, suggesting they may have specific reasons for remaining on the older version.
