Microsoft: Our most dependable Windows version to date is Windows 11 24H2.

Microsoft released KB5062660, a significant but optional feature update for Windows 11, version 24H2, a short while ago. Among its features are new Click to Do actions, agentic search in settings, and Recall for customers in the European Economic Area (EEA). Additionally, it revealed some operating system updates driven by the Windows Resiliency Initiative.

The most recent version of Windows 11 comes with two improvements. The first is Quick Machine Recovery, which uses the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), which is always available, to identify, diagnose, and resolve important problems that arise during bootup. The overall downtime and reliance on IT workers are then decreased when repairs are applied via Windows Update.

The goal of Quick Machine Recovery is to provide IT administrators with granular control over the system while enabling devices experiencing boot failures to recover gracefully and with the least amount of disturbance possible. IT staff can utilize this function to control the self-healing mechanism, scan and reboot intervals, or completely disable it. In Windows 11 Home, the feature is activated by default; however, in Pro, Education, and Enterprise SKUs, it is deactivated. IT administrators can use Intune or a policy configuration service provider (CSP) to enable it.

Microsoft plans to prioritize support for Windows Server, additional connectivity choices, and improved IT administrators' tools in the upcoming Quick Machine Recovery release.

Furthermore, the most recent version of Windows 11 includes the new BSOD, which is now better known as the Black Screen of Death. Although we have previously discussed this in great depth, Microsoft has made it clear that this is more than just a cosmetic makeover. The new BSOD is designed with the user experience in mind, making it less visually distracting while still succinctly delivering essential diagnostic information (such as a hex code). According to Microsoft, Windows 11, version 24H2, features better crash dump collection, allowing users to spend two seconds on the screen instead of forty.

All of this supports Microsoft's claim that Windows 11, version 24H2, is the most dependable version of the operating system to date. It states that, in comparison to Windows 11, version 22H2, unexpected failure rates that result in BSOD have decreased by 24%. It's interesting that it hasn't compared it to version 23H2, which implies that the difference from the previous year is most likely insignificant, or at the very least, not something to brag about.
