24H2 - Good, Bad, Indifferent?

I keep getting the notification to d/l and install 24H2, but now that it's been out for a bit, I'm wondering if anyone here has installed it and if it has had any impact on the 2020 sim. Thoughts?

It depends on your hardware. In the meantime, there have been fixes released by M$, but we know what they are worth, right? :D

I did a quick check, you shouldn't have issues. It's especially the people with 14th generation intel processors and RTX40XX GPU's who have issues. You're good.

And for the rest of you who have REALLY old hardware, stay away from it!

It’s fine if you’re being offered it. The drivers/anti-cheat apps/etc that are problematic will keep Windows from offering you the update if they’re installed.

The only exception is if you own a Windows Mixed Reality headset like the HP G2. 24H2 “deprecates” WMR, which was the last straw on me ever buying hardware that requires active support from Microsoft again.
 
If you have a WD Black SSD, you should update the firmware. 24H2 was causing crashes on that drive. Since I updated the firmware, I have no problems at all with 24H2.
