Windows 11 24H2 when?

[DebZakari]

24H2 is fully released. Are there any testing done yet?

Tried with IOT profile, Windows Pro 11 English International ISO works fine

Tried with the blank canvas version all good so far works perfectly fine, looks like the update didn't do that much to make the script not work, i did find one thing if you use the old context menu the new compression formatting that was added doesn't show up Youtube W11 24h2 there's a video by Thiojoe that explains all changes and he has a link to a registry edit to enable the new compression things in the old context menu this enables you to compress using .rar and .7z now natively in windows and these files can be uncompressed natively now too.

I've yet to test it as of now. Good to know it's working without any major issues. 👍

recall seems to be active in 24h2 file even when you use this autounattended file so you have to disable it.

Can't disable windows defender.

Can't disable windows defender.

You can disable windows defender only on memorys new unattended file 2.0, it allows you to keep it disabled right at the start, should watch his new video.

I tried installing it, but this new Windows update breaks the method, and Defender always stays enabled. I attempted five clean installs, both with and without an internet connection. Sometimes the Defender settings appear grayed out and unclickable, and other times they pop up like in the video, but after everything, Defender remains enabled. To check, I ran a script to see its status, and it says it’s disabled—though it’s not.

Guys, but did Microsoft implement CPU instruction checks in 24H2 and newer recently?

If people wants to bypass that, I guess this script will simply not be enough - Windows bootloader would also needs to be replaced and also other executable/dll components in "C:\Windows" that depends on specific instruction to allow non-supported CPU to run Windows 11 24H2.

(POPCNT instruction (SSE4.2 is for intel and SSE4A is for AMD)

Did anyone already did something about this change to bypass CPU checks or not.

@CtrlasAltas Can you send a screenshot of the actual Windows Defender part of the Windows Security suite?

@joeyoropesa-dev As far as I know there won't ever be a way to run 24H2 on CPU's that don't support POPCNT and SSE4.2 because the CPU physically can't process those instructions.

@CtrlasAltas

Here are 2 screenshots, one of Windows 10 and the other of Windows 11. I just did a clean install with the autounattend.xml file in this repo on stock, Windows 11 24H2 and Windows 10 22H2 Images from Microsoft. I also installed all available updates up until today and Windows Defender is still Disabled.

I'm not sure what's causing it to be Enabled on your system automatically, it might be a third party app checking if it's Disabled and then manually enabling it?

ok then back to revios. ty Edit : Here is photo I took of that grayed out option

[CtrlasAltas]

This is how it looks after ReviOS P.S. I didn’t get the Windows update window looking like in your screenshot either. It was working like a normal Windows installation—only after running the ReviOS script did it change. No idea if my laptop is just "special," but I didn’t see any of those changes after using your method. Guess I’m one of a kind! That said, applying ReviOS to your installation was much quicker than on a standard setup, and installing Windows with your method literally takes minutes.

[memstechtips]

Okay I see that ReviOS completely Disables and Removes the Entire Windows Security Suite. That is similiar to what this script does by FR33THY https://github.com/FR33THYFR33THY/Ultimate-Windows-Optimization-Guide/blob/main/8%20Advanced/7%20Security.ps1

However, what the Disable Defender part of the autounattend.xml answer file does, is it only disables the defender part, as shown in the screenshots that I posted earlier. That means it only disables the Antivirus part, the real time protection.

I do also see the greyed out option and that my User Account Customization screen says Defender is Enabled, but I have no idea how it is being automatically enabled.
