<p>Microsoft is doubling down on its commitment to Windows 11, with the latest 24H2 update being positioned as a milestone release. The company recently rolled out an optional update (KB5062660) packed with new features and a bold message: this is the most reliable Windows yet.</p>
<p>Among the fresh additions are some useful tools. A new Quick Machine Recovery feature aims to simplify recovery after system failures. The infamous Blue Screen of Death has reportedly been replaced with a calmer interface, and Windows Recall, previously withheld in certain regions, is finally making its way to EU users.</p>

<p>But beyond new features, Microsoft is leaning heavily on the narrative of stability. According to the company, 24H2 has seen a 24% reduction in unexpected system reboots compared to Windows 10 22H2, based on its internal telemetry. That’s a confident claim, but not without caveats.</p>
<p>Microsoft’s reliance on telemetry to prove reliability has its critics. While data from modern Windows versions is rich and detailed, comparing today’s OS with earlier generations like Windows 7 or XP, which didn’t report nearly as much, isn’t possible. And since those older systems remain beloved by many, it&#8217;s hard to say definitively which Windows version was truly the most stable.</p>
<p>There’s also a real-world experience. Despite Microsoft’s optimism, the 24H2 rollout hasn’t been spotless. Reports continue to surface of issues affecting everything from USB printers and Bluetooth to audio systems, firewall rules, and even Windows Update itself. For users still on Windows 10, especially those blocked by hardware restrictions, the sales pitch may fall flat.</p>
<p>In the end, Microsoft’s message is clear: upgrade and you’ll get the best version of Windows. Whether users agree, however, will depend less on blog posts and more on what happens when they click &#8220;Install.&#8221;</p>
