Microsoft’s Windows 11 24H2 problems continue to get worse: new update is now causing crashes on Intel motherboards

Microsoftnew Windows 11 update 24 hours a day was causing Intel Z890 motherboards to constantly crash or reboot, requiring users to change BIOS settings to resolve the issue. This is another entry in a growing list of problems faced by Windows users with a big update.

According to to post (in Spanish) by El Chapuzas InformaticoThose who have been closely monitoring the situation, the problem with the Z890 motherboard appears to be related to an apparent conflict between the dedicated and integrated GPUs. It appears that this is not limited to one specific device; This glitch is reported to occur with several brands of boards, including MSI and Gigabyte. At this point, it is unclear whether the fault lies directly with the Microsoft update, or Intel There is also a certain responsibility here.

To resolve glitches, users must enter the motherboard BIOS and disable their system’s integrated graphics before attempting any necessary BIOS updates. Luckily, it doesn’t look like this issue will cause any permanent damage to custom boards, but it’s clear that Microsoft needs to release a patch as soon as possible to avoid further potential problems.

The nightmare 24H2 update for Microsoft continues

The 24H2 update is still proving to be a nightmare for many Windows users. problems such as random BSODs (Blue Screen of Death) for those using Western Digital SSDs, even before the current problem with the Z890. This is especially frustrating for users since Windows updates are often automatically installed when the system is restarted or shut down (which is still a major point of contention for many users).

While the current problem doesn’t appear to be related to blocked boards or serious damage, there’s no telling what other problems a problematic Windows update might cause – there are plenty of PC users who support certain system configurations, and given a number of strange, hardware-specific bugs with 24H2, it is possible that some users may encounter several problems that are difficult to resolve on their own.

Luckily, in this case, motherboard manufacturers are already offering urgent BIOS updates to fix the problem, meaning there are solutions available – we hope Microsoft will act quickly to fix any current bugs so we can properly appreciate the improvements , which Windows 11 24H2 brings.
