Since the release of Windows 11 24H2, users have complained about the increase in the appearance of blue screens of death.. Here is the solution
Windows 11 24H2 problems continue. We have already seen several bugs that slightly spoil the experience of using this operating system. Crashes like an error that prevents 8.63 GB of space from being cleaned , or problems with some system components. However, one of the most worrying and complicated is the one that makes some users see blue screens after installing this new version. A failure surrounded by a lot of mystery that can eventually be solved.
Since the release of Windows 11 24H2, some users have complained about an increase in the number of Blue Screens of Death (BSODs) displayed by Windows. This has been a concern for users and Microsoft, as the update has been blocked on some hardware configurations to mitigate these issues.
After much research, it finally appears that these blue screens only appear when installing the operating system on specific SSD models. Moreover, there is already a definitive solution to the problem.
After much research, it finally appears that this issue exclusively affects two brands of SSDs (although they are actually the same): SanDisk and Western Digital. It affects certain models of SSDs that use a Host Memory Buffer (HMB), a function responsible for controlling access to system memory through a technology called Direct Memory Access (DMA).
If your PC has one of these SSDs installed, Microsoft has blocked access to the update, so it won’t show up anywhere. However, SanDisk has just released a new update that fixes the issues and lets you use Windows 11 24H2 without blue screens.
We download the tool from this link and install it on our computer.
We can go to the "Tools" section, where a series of tools will appear, among which is the possibility of updating the firmware of the units. We do not have to download anything else, as this tool will show us a message indicating that there is an update, and a button to update.
We follow the steps that the assistant will show us until the end. After restarting the computer, the SSD firmware will be updated, and we will be able to use Windows 11 24H2 without problems.
The update process should not erase the data saved inside the drive, but it is a very important process. Therefore, it is recommended to close all open programs and processes.
