Windows 11 24H2 and MSFS: observations,insights, issues and tips

Windows 11 24H2 installed a couple of days ago and I ended up doing a recall back to 23H2. Wifi would randomly not connect after startup, the new screen capture (ie multiple options available when hitting print screen) stopped working. Turning it off then on in Accessibility didn’t get it running again. Guess this was broken by 24H2 as rolling back to 23H2 fixed this.

My Logitech rudder pedals started getting a driver compatibility error, which would fail to load the driver. The Win 11 response indicated I should turn off some safety features to get it to work. Didn’t want to do this and solved the problem by installing the Windows 10 drivers, as Logitech haven’t released any Win 11 drivers.

There were a couple of other minor issues I can’t remember now, but when rolling back to 23H2 the problems all disappeared with the exception of the Wifi connection. Note that rolling back throws you out of anything you have logged into, so you have log back on to everything.

But nothing in MSFS was affected by 24H2 or the rollback to 23H2. The Wifi problem persisted after rolling back to 23H2, but selecting a different connection fixed the problem. Not sure if this is related to 24H2 but the wifi problems only started after the update.

Seems a lot of people are having general problems with 24H2 when I googled all my 24H2 problems. Also found this video on how to block just 24H2. Haven’t tried this myself, as I thought I would just pause updates to let MS patch 24H2.
