On a diagonal reading, the article seems a little "heavy". I'll need some time to assimilate it!

Yeah, a bit technical. But reading and understanding it all may not help much. The bottom line (almost literally) is:

"My instinct tells me this block is perhaps unintentionally (or intentionally?) over-reaching. Blocking for any device that is using a Microsoft compatible USB driver seems a bit extreme to me – like they don’t know exactly what devices may be causing an issue here so they’ve thrown out a catch-all blocker until they narrow down more exactly what is causing a problem. But that’s just a guess at this point."

try asking Copilot what to do, it may have something to suggest. I utilize all sources. I have learned a lot by asking all. One more source is Feedback. They pass along to those how know any suggestions or problems that have fixed some update issues.
I rarely have an answer to a particular issue in the MS Feedback!... and when I do get an answer, months go by!

If I understood correctly - and just using a practical example (!) - a signal receiver (connected to a USB port) for my Logi MX-Ergo mouse (and respective driver), could have prevented the transfer process?!...

I'm going to ask a question, which I think is relevant!

Starting from the situation where the ``GE24H2Setup`` subkey only appeared after the (failed) attempt to transfer 24H2, if I export the ``GE24H2Setup`` subkey (for backup) and then delete it from the registry, it may be MS servers make a new transfer attempt?!

It happened as I predicted!
Removing the ``GE24H2Setup`` subkey caused that in "Windows Update", when searching for updates, the 24H2 package began to be downloaded.

However, it was of no use because the result was the same: it stopped, again, the transfer at 8% and gave the same information (without explaining any identification of the error!)

However, in this process, with the "Resource Monitor" window open, I noticed that, while the transfer was being carried out, a system folder was very active "C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther" with about 2 dozen of files with the extensions ".xml" (the vast majority), ".log" (the 2nd most represented extension), ".dat" and 2 to 3 ".bin" files.

I am convinced that the information for the reason for the transfer blocking should be found in the ".xml" and/or ".log" files but, unfortunately, I don't know what kind of "string(s) keys" I should look for to find the reason (I tested by opening some with Notepad++).

Sorry. I'm afraid that all the really useful stuff, like analyze log files is 'Level 400'.

Microsoft said:
The article is divided into subtopics of different technical levels. Basic level provides common procedures that can resolve several types of upgrade errors. Advanced level requires some experience with detailed troubleshooting methods.

The following four levels are assigned:
  • Level 100: Basic
  • Level 200: Moderate
  • Level 300: Moderate advanced
  • Level 400: Advanced

Or you could just wait for MS to resolve the issues and lift the safeguard hold. If it's any help in deciding, I did let one of my supported devices take the 24H2 update through Windows Update. While mine did complete the upgrade successfully, it took all of 10 minutes before I'd seen enough bugs for me to restore its 23H2 system image. I'm in no hurry to repeat that experiment :D

As there is, in fact, an update problem for the version 24H2 package on my system - more than confirmed in 2 attempts, repeatedly and consistently - it no longer makes sense to "waste more time" trying to find out "why", It doesn't even make sense to force a manual update (it could cause serious stability issues in my system).
Therefore, the most reasonable attitude is to keep my system as it is and wait for the problem to be corrected by MS, however long it takes!

I would like to thank all the participants in this conversation, which, although it didn't have a "solved!" outcome, was exciting, brought knowledge and even had moments of great humor! :D

A big hug for all! :D (y)

However, in this process, with the "Resource Monitor" window open, I noticed that, while the transfer was being carried out, a system folder was very active "C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther" with about 2 dozen of files with the extensions ".xml" (the vast majority), ".log" (the 2nd most represented extension), ".dat" and 2 to 3 ".bin" files.

I am convinced that the information for the reason for the transfer blocking should be found in the ".xml" and/or ".log" files but, unfortunately, I don't know what kind of "string(s) keys" I should look for to find the reason (I tested by opening some with Notepad++).

ADDENDUM

About the folder and path `C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther`
(help for IT hobbyists,... like me!)
  • The `$WINDOWS.~BT` folder is a system folder and is hidden.Therefore, to access the folder, it's necessary to verify that:
    • The "Show hidden folders, drives and files" option is selected
    • The user has Administrative Permissions
  • The `$WINDOWS.~BT` folder has some sub-folders but the "Log" files (`.xml` and `.log`) that are of interest, to analyze the OS update process, are found in path `C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther`
  • The relevant information for the full diagnosis of the OS update process is in several of the files (`.xml` and `.log`). From what I've read, the most relevant ones will be: `compatdata.xml`, `setuperr.log`, `setupact.log`, upgradeerror.xml`,...
  • The `$WINDOWS.~BT` folder is temporary and all its contents are deleted as soon as the OS update transfer process is exited. Therefore, if we want to analyze the "Log" files, we will first have to make a copy of the files before leaving the OS update process.

Final note: although I know more about the "log files" of the OS update process (now, after my respective post), it doesn't mean that I will change my position of "waiting for the update to 24H2 to be carried out via the regular Windows Update channel"!

I hope to help someone with this my post! ;-)

Once again, thank you all very much! :D

although I know more about the "log files" of the OS update process (now, after my respective post), it doesn't mean that I will change my position of "waiting for the update to 24H2 to be carried out via the regular Windows Update channel"!
Although I have one out of my three supported devices on 24H2, that's more as an advanced scout than anything else. My position on the remaining two is the same as yours, wait patiently until MS has fixed some more issues and thinks it's fit and ready to roll out to everyone.

"waiting for the update to 24H2 to be carried out via the regular Windows Update channel"
The wait is over, for at least one of my supported devices.....

My position on the remaining two is the same as yours, wait patiently until MS has fixed some more issues and thinks it's fit and ready to roll out to everyone.
Now I have to decide whether I think it's ready, MS apparently already think so.....

I have an ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (2022) laptop with Windows 11 Pro. Checking Windows Update manually said that Windows 11 24H2 is available. I will do a backup of the C: drive before I start the update to 24H2.

2024-12-03 17_08_18-Settings.webp
Update:
Update went OK. Total time for downloading and installing 24H2 was about 1h:50m.

When I get time I will check my desktop with Windows 11 Pro.

They must have released a bunch of new hardware approvals today as mine now shows it available also, didn't appear yesterday. Hmm, guess it might be time to pull the trigger. Definitely want to try mine before even thinking about wife's machine.

Received 24H2 today through Windows update on 2 computers at the same time.

All went well and smoothly on our Lenovo AIO Intel I5

Not so well on our custom build with Asus Prime Z390 motherboard and Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz Eight-Core LGA 1151 Processor
First installation was stuck at 35%, had to restart. After that installation proceeded with many restarts and finalized, but with warning about vulnerable driver AsIo.sys as reported on this forum as well. Had to disable Asus Q Installer in the BIOS, and assume the problem is solved (Need to see for the next days)
Also lost my home network settings.

That's what I can see so far, so not a complete disaster.

I just registered in the forum (have been long time follower though). The issue i have is Windows 24H2 doesn't appear to be offered through Windows Update for me, and after checking via the registry editor I do appear to have this block ID:

GatedBlockID 54437462
GatedBlockReason Other
RedReason Other

The main if not the only reason I'd like currently to update, is that I am really looking forward to enabling the WiFi 7 functionality on my PC. Any idea on the above blockID or if there is a way to bypass it (if it is wise to do so?). This is my home PC that I use heavily for work too, so messing it up isn't really a risk I'd take.

Thanks in advance for any input and help.

Welcome to Eleven Forum.

That safeguard hold is to prevent you having issues with certain installed games after installing 24H2. The hold will be lifted when the issues with these games have been resolved, either by Microsoft, the games developers, of both working together.

Microsoft said:
After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, you might encounter issues with the games listed below. These games might become unresponsive while starting, loading or during active gameplay. In some cases, users might receive a black screen. The affected games are:

Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Assassin's Creed Origins
Assassin's Creed Odyssey

To safeguard your Windows update experience, we have applied a compatibility hold on devices with these games installed. These devices will not be offered to install Windows 11, version 24H2 via the Windows Update release channel. IT administrators using Windows Update for Business reports can check these issues using the following safeguard IDs: 54437462.
