Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 24H2 version is causing startup problems for PCs running AutoCAD. Users with a specific older version of AutoCAD are temporarily blocked from upgrading to Windows 11 24H2.
Installation of Microsoft’s new Windows 11 24H2 version is not yet going smoothly. The new update is accompanied by several problems. For example, Microsoft recently revealed in an announcement that the update may cause startup problems on PCs running AutoCAD 2022. As a result, Microsoft has applied a security lockout to prevent affected devices from updating to version 24H2. The company is currently working on a fix.
AutoCAD 2022
Do you have a PC running AutoCAD 2022 from Autodesk? Then you will probably be blocked when you want to install the latest Windows 11 24H2 update. This is because this software causes startup problems. Microsoft has therefore blocked the installation of Windows 11 24H2 on affected systems. Other versions of AutoCAD should work and pose no problems when upgrading to the latest version of the operating system.
