MS-DEFCON 4: Microsoft begins a strong push for 24H2

Posted on January 28, 2025 at 02:45 CST by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

ISSUE 22.04.1 • 2025-01-28

By Susan Bradley

Last week, Microsoft announced that Windows 11 24H2 is now “broadly available.”

This notice was contained in the Microsoft Learn post Windows 11, version 24H2 known issues and notifications.

Except for my continuing recommendation not to install 24H2, I’m lowering the MS-DEFCON level to 4. There are some problems, but they are manageable. Go ahead and patch.

Microsoft’s language in the Learn post was more direct than usual and included Windows 10 in the mix.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (22.04.1, 2025-01-28).
