Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes
(www.tomsguide.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This isn't the first time they've pushed an update which crashes PCs.
IIRC, the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware, so it's like "well yeah, duh, no wonder why you keep releasing updates that crash & freeze end users machines"
Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore. I have both Mac and Linux (both which I love equally). Both of them don't seem to have anywhere near these levels of issues - Macs I would hope not given the eye-watering amount I've spent on it, and Linux I could be forgiven if it did give me hassle, but no.
And yet there's a recent update that keeps killing my Windows VMs. They'll run for a while then one day they install the update and won't boot again. It really feels like MS have lost control of Windows testing these days.
