Windows 11 24H2 Update - Performance Issues & Fixes

[Mike_TechGuru]

Anyone else experiencing issues after the Windows 11 24H2 update?

My system shows:
- Higher idle CPU usage
- Random explorer.exe crashes
- Network connectivity drops

Tried: SFC scan, DISM restore, clean boot - issues persist.

System: Ryzen 7 5800X, 32GB RAM, RTX 4070

Same here! The update broke my Hyper-V configuration. Had to reinstall the virtualization components.

Also experiencing:
- Longer boot times
- Search indexing issues
- Taskbar sometimes disappears

Temporary fix: Disable Windows Search service, but that's not ideal.

Fixed my issues by:
1. Uninstalling recent Windows updates
2. Running Windows Update Troubleshooter
3. Manually installing drivers from manufacturer sites
4. Disabling hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling

The automatic driver updates were causing conflicts with my NVIDIA drivers.

For those still having issues, try this:

1. Open Command Prompt as Admin
2. Run: `dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth`
3. Run: `sfc /scannow`
4. Run: `chkdsk C: /f` (requires restart)
5. Update BIOS/UEFI to latest version

Worked for about 70% of the systems I've tested.
