24H2 update


If I do a clean install and I release the out-of-box experience to set up a local account this would not encrypt my system. Correct? Or is it going to encrypt it anyway just because of the new install?
This automatic encryption after a clean install is nothing new, Windows 10 Pro was doing it years ago if the PC met certain hardware requirements. MS has relaxed those requirements now, with Windows 11 both Home and Pro are likely to do so on most machines.

It's no big deal though, it's really easy to turn off device encryption after the install has completed, and once turned off it will never be turned back on by any update.

...that is the default for a clean install of Pro. I've seen that on a couple of Dell laptops, and again when I wiped one and did a clean install of W10 Pro with the standard Microsoft install media.

If you don't want it then open a Command Prompt (Admin) and type manage-bde -off then sit back and watch it decrypt everything, that's what I did.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, and 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2.

Thank you Bree I do appreciate that. I'm really new to Windows 11 so I'm trying to educate myself along the process. Thank you for your time and patience in responding to my question

The problems folks are reporting with 24H2 are not with the baseline release (1742) but with the Windows Updates applied after that -- as those are the ones that introduce the DISM and SFC issues. I have delayed an offered 24H2 update because I don't want those issues and am disappointed that the recent 24H2 build (2152) did not fix the reported issues.

24H2 2152 fixed the SFC errors issue but still had the 8.63GB Disk Cleanup error. That one they acknowledged and is supposed to get corrected in a soon to release Windows Update, so we'll see.

That is why I have decided to stick with the 23H2 Windows for now. I don't like the new way of installing because it hangs up, even freezes. Some of my 32bit apps that I still use will not run right. I also see a lot of stuttering and flickering. Why do they even call it an update when all they done was trash windows?
