Solved 24H2 forced upon me... Help, how do I stop it from updating my laptop?


I've been using 24H2 since it rolled out without any issue, even though my PC doesn't meet the official requirements.....I think most of the issues and bugs appear upon upgrading from a lower version rather than doing a clean install ( I always do a clean install).
Just finished installing a legit 24H2 version of Win 11 on a "Windows 11 ready" system board less than a week ago. It was a clean install. Windows can't find 90% of the drivers I need in device manager so once again, I'm not impressed. Yes, I went to the manufacturer's web page and installed what they gave me. Meanwhile, Windows 7 Ultimate is looking great as ever on this Windows 11 compliant system.

LOOK MA, NO BANGS.webp

    I own too many laptops: A Dell touch screen with Windows 11 and 6 others (not counting the other four laptops I bought for this household.) Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.
Support for Windows 11 23H2 ends in November this year....so my advice is to embrace the 24H2 update and try to fix obvious annoyances.
While that may be true, I will wait to update until November because it gives Microsoft 9 more months of updates and patches to work out the Million things wrong so when I do have to truely upgrade/update then it wont be so painful.
