Description:
It seems that Microsofts Windows 11 24H2 update woes arent over yet, as Intel Z890 motherboards suffer frequent crashes and reboots.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Microsofts new Windows 11 24H2 update has caused Intel Z890 motherboards to constantly crash or reboot, requiring users to change BIOS settings for a solution. This is another entry in the growing list of issues Windows users have faced with the major update.

According to a post (in Spanish) from El Chapuzas Informatico , who have closely monitored the situation, the issue with the Z890 motherboard appears to stem from an apparent conflict between dedicated and integrated GPUs. It doesnt seem to be limited to one specific mobo, either; this glitch is reportedly occurring with boards from multiple brands including MSI and Gigabyte. Its unclear at this point whether the blame lies directly with Microsofts update, or if Intel bears some responsibility here too.

The solution to the crashes requires users to enter the motherboard BIOS and disable their systems integrated graphics before proceeding with any
necessary BIOS updates. Fortunately, it doesnt sound as though this issue
will cause any irreparable damage to users boards, but its clear that Microsoft needs to release a patch ASAP to avoid any more potential problems. El Chapuzas Informatico included this list of instructions for resolving the issue, originally provided by Asus.

The 24H2 update is proving to be a nightmare for many Windows users so far, with issues such as random BSODs (Blue Screen of Death) for those utilizing Western Digital SSDs, even before the current Z890 problem. This is
especially frustrating for users since Windows updates are often
automatically pushed when restarting or powering off their system (something that is still a major point of contention for many users).

While the current issue apparently isnt bricking boards or causing any major damage, theres no telling what other troubles the beleaguered Windows update could cause - there are plenty of PC users who maintain specific system configurations, and given the range of odd hardware-specific bugs with 24H2, its possible that some users could be hit with multiple issues that are hard to troubleshoot independently.

Fortunately, in this case, motherboard manufacturers are already pushing urgent BIOS updates to alleviate the problem, meaning there are solutions available - our hope remains that Microsoft acts fast to fix all the ongoing bugs, so we can properly appreciate the improvements that Windows 11 24H2 brings.
