Microsoft lifts Windows 11 update block for some AutoCAD users

Microsoft has removed a compatibility hold that prevented some AutoCAD users from installing the Windows 11 2024 Update due to launch and crash issues. After installing the AutoCAD 2022 update that addresses this known issue, it may take up to 48 hours for the Windows 11, version 24H2 update to be offered via Windows Update. ​Microsoft also advised users not to manually update impacted PCs using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or the Media Creation Tool until the known issue is resolved. In recent weeks, Redmond released a BIOS update that fixed blue screen issues on some ASUS devices to remove another compatibility hold blocking Windows 11 24H2 upgrades. "After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, all versions of Autodesk AutoCAD 2022 might not open on some devices. It also lifted a safeguard hold preventing PCs with Auto HDR enabled from installing the Windows 11 2024 Update due to gaming issues. IT admins can find the issue under "safeguard ID: 56211213" in Windows Update for Business reports to check if any endpoints in their environment are affected. As Redmond explained when it acknowledged this known issue last month, it affects all AutoCAD 2022 versions, but other AutoCAD releases are not impacted. Other upgrade blocks prompted by incompatible configurations or software have also been applied to devices with Dirac audio improvement software, Asphalt 8 (Airborne), integrated cameras, or the Easy Anti-Cheat and Safe Exam Browser applications. Autodesk has resolved this issue in the AutoCAD 2022.1.4 S182.0.0 or higher updates released since Friday.
