Microsoft warns Windows 11 install media bug blocks future security updates
Manually created Windows 11 installation media may contain a bug.
Applying the December 2024 security update via Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog will resolve the issue and restore the system's ability to accept future security updates
so the solution to it not updating is to go to windows update and update it?
That's gotta be peak full disclosure communication lol
That’s because this situation is only applicable to offline environments where updates would otherwise be deployed manually.
This issue does not affect systems that receive updates directly through Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog.
So, the overwhelming majority of systems and especially all of those used by average consumers.
Now, tell me again how you could never consider Linux because it's just so unreliable.
I actually haven't seen that particular argument. It's not that Linux itself is unreliable. It's that there's a harder learning curve for trouble shooting issues when you do have them. Linux has less guides for things because it doesn't have the market share.
I use Linux (fedora), and it's mostly just fine. I like it. But if I tried to use it on my work machine running the apps I need in a VM or wine or similar and something went wrong, I wouldn't have anything to fall back on to help me figure it out.
I will say that a lot of people who use windows could probably just use Linux and everything would be fine. But unreliability isn't what I've been hearing about when people explain why they don't switch.
And at the same time, they're using Android phones...
My Fedora installation turns off the backlight of my laptop unless I have it plugged in. Every OS has issues. Stop trying to make it your personality.
No exceptions to Murphy's law; however, there's difference if something don't work with Linux, on Lenovo hardware, because Lenovo tries a new fancy thing and make it work only on Windows (or a multiplayer game doesn't work because the anticheat is Windows only) and a Microsoft's thing don't working on Microsoft's Windows because is made by Microsoft and nobody else, but Microsoft, has control to fix it.
Huh.
Good we're on 10 then.
And Linux.
Good thing Bazzite is turning out to be such a winner. The countdown to complete switch has begun.
I've been using Garuda for dual boot for a while on my desktop. Finally got the single program I actually needed windows for working well enough to actually use, so last week I nuked my laptop win11 install and got Garuda up.
Never been happier with itI've been running Bazzite as my main OS now for about 8 months and I love it. Recently installed CachyOS on a separate SSD and am also loving that as well.
Linux is pretty great these days. Last time I tried it in 2014 I didn't even bother to try gaming on it, now proton makes that a set and forget setup.
Hey, I'm experiencing this bug right now!
Its the reason why I just went and bought 5 more TB of disk space so that I can back up all my stuff and move to linux.
This issue does not affect systems that receive updates directly through Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog.
This is virtually never the case for any end user, and likely not even the case for a large number of enterprise environments.
Well, just another Microsoft F-ckup. Nothing new.
Yet people proclaim windows is more reliable ha!
