Last week, Microsoft lifted another compatibility hold blocking Windows 11 24H2 upgrades after releasing a BIOS update that fixed blue screen issues on ASUS devices with very specific hardware components. Microsoft has introduced a new Windows 11 24H2 upgrade block for systems with AutoCAD 2022, addressing compatibility issues that prevent the program from launching. To prevent the issue on impacted Windows 11 24H2 PCs, the company has added a compatibility hold that will block the Windows 11 2024 Update from being offered via the Windows Update. The company also advised affected users not to manually update impacted PCs using the Media Creation Tool or the Windows 11 Installation Assistant until the known issue is resolved. IT admins can find this known issue under "safeguard ID: 56211213" in Windows Update for Business reports to check if their organizations' endpoints are affected. "After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, all versions of Autodesk AutoCAD 2022 might not open on some devices. Users have reported encountering an error when launching the application," Microsoft says in a Windows release health update. 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. If your device has a compatibility hold that blocks upgrades, you'll see an "Upgrade to Windows 11 is on its way to your device.
