Installing the Windows 11 24H2 Update: Darcy’s Experience<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Darcy's<\/p>\n

Last week, Darcy updated her Microsoft Surface Pro to Windows 11 24H2 with 16 GB of RAM and 500 Mbps internet speed. After 45 minutes the update was incomplete and the screen displayed the typical message “Updating… do not turn off your computer”. Normally, her updates take less than fifteen minutes. <\/span><\/p>\n

After 45 minutes, in frustration, Darcy turned off her computer, waited, and turned it back on. When her computer restarted. the “Updating… do not turn of your computer” message was displayed on the screen. She messaged me and I called her and told her I’ve heard of cases where the upgrade took two hours, so be patient, I’m sure it will update.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patience paid off. About an hour and 10 minutes after the 24H2 update started installing, the update completed successfully, and now Darcy is running Windows 11 24H2.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’re telling you this so you know that the Windows 11 24H2 update that is now rolling out to all Windows users is a major update. It can take over an hour, in some cases even two hours. The best thing you can do when updating to Windows 11 24H2 is not sit there and watch the computer screen\u2014just walk away and let it update. A watched pot never boils, you know.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope this little bit of advice will help those who have yet to update to Windows 11 24H2, relax and not worry. Things will work out just fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now how about a little bit of humor?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink, and gulps it down in one swig.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Well, whatcha’ gonna do about it?”, he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is the worst day of my life,” I say. “I’m a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don’t have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another man and then my dog bit me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in, and sit here watching the poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing! But enough about me, how’s your day going?\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
