Windows 11 24H2 update has been causing a lot of trouble for users lately. From network connectivity issues to blue screen crashes, users have been facing a range of problems since the update started rolling out. Microsoft even had to block the update for some devices due to these issues.
The latest problem to emerge involves Microsoft Office apps crashing on systems with CrowdStrike antivirus software installed. This issue affects applications like Word and Excel, making them completely unusable after updating to Windows 11 24H2. The problem seems to be related to CrowdStrike’s Falcon sensor antivirus software and a specific setting called the “Enhanced Exploitation Visibility Prevention Policy.”
Microsoft has added affected devices to the block list for the Windows 11 24H2 update and is working with CrowdStrike to resolve the issue. In the meantime, CrowdStrike has disabled the problematic setting for affected users as a temporary solution.
This collaboration between Microsoft and CrowdStrike is not the first time the tech giant has had to work with other companies to address issues in the Windows 11 24H2 update. Previously, they worked with SSD manufacturers to fix hardware crashes on affected devices.
While this particular issue only affects organizations and managed IT environments, individuals facing other problems with the Windows 11 24H2 update may want to consider reverting to a previous version.
It’s essential to stay informed about the best changes and updates in Windows 11 24H2 to ensure a smooth user experience. If you encounter any issues with the update, be sure to seek help or consider rolling back to a previous version until a proper fix is released.
