It would instantly open up the audience for Microsoft's AI tools considerably if they included using GPUs like the NVidia RTX for AI support. Modern GPUs easily push past the 40 TOPS requirement, with some of the top end GPUs getting over 1000 TOPS. They wouldn't have to wait for people to upgrade to processors with NPUs.

I thought the rumors said 24H2 wouldn't launch in October 😅

Doesn't show up for me either.

All well and good until Microsoft takes a page out of Adobe's book and "Click To Do" turns into a "If you want me to do that, subscribe to Copilot+" nagfest.

I have had the immediate update toggle on forever but nothing has popped for me, manually checking for updates doesn't trigger it either.

Installed 24h2 with the ISO. Have a 2nd drive. 24h2 installed on 1st drive and then did a bitlocker on the 2nd drive. Found some issues with 24h2 and when I backed out I could no longer use the 2nd drive. Was there some option to not bitlocker secondary drives?

Me either. I have co-pilot and looking forward to install.

GPU support is reportedly in a future update. In Wintel land, laptops come first, as desktops are a minority. Desktops w/ dGPUs (read: gaming PCs) are a minority of a minority.

NPU has a distinct advantage over dGPU in that it uses very little power, which is important for laptops.

This bypass method is still available on 24H2.

>Was there some option to not bitlocker secondary drives?

Rufus will disable BitLocker, as well as bypassing MS login and HW requirements.

>Me either. I have co-pilot and looking forward to install.

24H2 is now available only by ISO via MS download sites. Monthly update is on the 2nd Tues of the month; update will likely be staggered.

Notes:

. For fresh install, BitLocker reportedly will be enabled by default. Disable it after install.

. 24H2 will require SSE 4.2 to boot. For those using HW bypass (raises hand), keep 23H2 (Sep '24) on hand for old PCs lacking this function.

. To test for SSE 4.2, run CPU-Z, and look in "Instructions" section of CPU tab.

. For those doing image backup of fresh installs, read below thread to exclude file from backup.

Win 11 24H2 Update Cleanup Issue

Just updated to Win 11 Pro 24H2. All is working fine. However, I've got an additional 8.63GB of Update files that won't delete (see image). I've run Component Store cleanup but it hasn't made any difference. Also ran it in safe mode. Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup...

On AI matters, entertaining to read "podcasts" made from NotebookLM's audio overview feature. It's garnered a fair bit of attention.

The photos app is getting a new Super Resolution feature, which uses on-device AI to increase resolution on old or low-res photos by up to eight times. (For instance, a 720p photo could go up to what I suppose you could call 5760p).

5760p would be 64x, chief. Resolution is area, not height.

thank god i moved to linux, dont have to find away to disable the biggest security flaws, they invented them selfs.

There's also no such thing as a 720p photo, unless I'm forgetting that photos were once interlaced.

I was able to download it through MS download assistant and then it found it again in update and installed it (or something) again. Seems great!
