Question Windows 11 v24H2 error: "Incorrect Function" when installing drivers ?

[Endre]

Hello!

I've installed Windows 11 v24H2 clean.

I am keeping all of my important files inside ISO images, which I am opening with PowerISO.

After installing Windows 11 v24H2, I wanted to install the drivers & some programs, but I couldn't, because of the following error: "Incorrect Function".

If I copy a driver, or a program from an ISO image and paste it on any of my partitions, then it will run normally.

WHAT I'VE TRIED SO FAR:
1. I've re-installed v24H2 clean 3 times.
2. I've enabled TPM 2.0 & Secure Boot in BIOS.
3. I've installed the newest PowerISO.
4. I've updated v24H2 to the newest build.

My only solution was reverting to v23H2, which works flawlessly.

MY PC:
1. Motherboard: ASRock X670E Taichi (newest BIOS).
2. CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X.
3. Memory: Kingston Fury Beast 2x32GB DDR5-5800 CL30.
4. SSDs: 3x Samsung 970 PRO 1TB (RAID-0).
5. Video Card: Nvidia - Gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision OC 10G (newest VBIOS).

QUESTION:
Does anyone have a solution to this error?

when I downloaded the Win 11 v24H2 and updated them on 2 of the 3 computers, one with a 5000 processor and the other with a 3000 processor, the first one had a problem when I updated the motherboard chipset with the latest AMD drivers....... I took them out and it's ok, I've seen a similar problem somewhere that the 9000 series also had

Yeah.
But, in my case, I had that error before installing any driver!
And the error remained present after installing all drivers, and also after updating Windows 11 to the newest build.

There's not much info on that error on the internet.

the photo you show has to do with the graphics card as I can see, if your problem comes from there, uninstall the drivers with ddu in safe mode and find and install the ones needed by the specific card you have

Have you installed all the chipset drivers for Windows 11 first? Generally chipset drivers are always the first to be installed, because so much else depends on those drivers being present. I would install all motherboard drivers first before installing any third-party drivers like Nvidia graphics drivers.

I see also that you're installing the studio version. Do you have the same result with the game ready version?

It's not at all about my graphics card.
The image that you saw was just an example of that error (in that example I was trying to install the Nvidia Studio driver).

The "Incorrect Function" error is being displayed on my screen if I try to install any piece of software that's located inside of an ISO image.

I did install absolutely all drivers for my PC.
(I copied those drivers outside of the ISO images in order to install them).
Then I restarted the PC.

But even with all drivers installed, and Windows being updated to the latest build, when I tried installing any piece of software that's located inside of an ISO image, I got the Incorrect Function error.

The error popped up regardless if I used an old, or new version of PowerISO to mount the ISO image.

Reverting to Windows 11 v23H2 solved the issue.
No errors.

<UPDATE>

I have solved the mystery:
All versions of PowerISO are incompatible with Windows 11 v24H2 (though they were compatible with v23H2).

If I mount any ISO image directly in Windows, I'll be able to run the software kits that are located inside.

I don't have anything concrete but it appears there are other problems with Power ISO & 24H2, and they might be fixed in a coming update. (I assume Tom badly translated what they told him)

I was just curious if it branched to other virtual programs, I haven't run any since updating.

Thanks for the update.

Maybe this was Microsoft's way of saying:
"Stop using 3rd party ISO mounters!"

I don't see any problems for Virtualbox and currently running my Win 10 VM. Only thing different was Windows UAC asked twice if I should let it run. That is new.

I generally don't copy files out of it though.
