[SOLVED] What is the state of the latest Windows 11 Home 64-bit ?

[iTRiP]

I just made myself a new USB with , hopefully the latest version of Windows 11 Home 64-bit, (probably 24H2 or newer).
Is it safe to install the newer version with a format and clean install anytime soon, or is it best to stick to my 23H2 (no issues)?

is it best to stick to my 23H2 (no issues)?
I'm yet on 23H2 and haven't updated the OS since I was told that updates are available. The saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's why I'm in a holding pattern with regards to migrating to 24H2. I've been reading on some anomalies though it's not entirely wide spread.

Goes without saying, always make sure you've backed up your mission critical data in case things do go sideways and you might need to revert to your prior version (using system restore).

24h2 is very buggy , go with 23h2.

Both of my Win 11 systems, Home and Pro, are on 24H2.
Zero issues.

Same. Multiple systems. Zero issues.

Thank you...

Any way I'm struggling with pc crashing issue, all the while I wanted to purchase new games and do a reformat and fresh install...and I should be planning an upgrade... but I can't get passed this gaming pc crashing critical kernel 41 issue.. ah man!

Really like to find the culprit before doing anything else.

The "kernel 41" is not the issue.

That is simply the system saying "I unexpectedly shut down. I do not know why. Human...please fix me."

Are you referring to this thread:

[SOLVED] - Could my PSU be causing the Kernel Power event ID 41 crash ?

PSU: Antec HCG Extreme 1000 watts Could this PSU be the cause of my PC crashing? I have another 1000 watts PSU in my other PC that I could test with, anybody that can second this to be a good test and might reveal my PC issue?

Hi USAFRet, how are you? long time since I was on the forums till now.

The "kernel 41" is not the issue.

That is simply the system saying "I unexpectedly shut down. I do not know why. Human...please fix me."

Yes that's the one and I have one here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/re-build-my-extreme-gaming-capable-pc.3868334/ all related to the same goal of getting my pc back into gaming mode.

My event viewer has the issue listed under: Critical. then it reads Kernel-Power 41 (63)
that's all I know besides, black screen, having to power button off the pc to get out of it, then when the pc boots back up again it's like nothing happened besides the reported issue in reliability monitor tagged pc did not properly shut down. ( so this is in fact preventing everything I wanted to do )

Besides that, my 23H2 Windows 11 Home 64bit still seems quite stable.
Even after all the crashes (still require pinpointing if there is hardware or software fault at all)
Busy doing that.

You can mark this thread solved. Issue resolved; Windows 11 23H2 is not faulty on my pc.
