Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data
The latest Windows 11 24H2 Patch Tuesday update is causing SSDs and HDDs to reportedly break with chances of data corruption as well.
You're viewing a single thread.
The reporter’s own “test” proves this is caused by faulty drives unable to sustain the speed they advertise, not Windows.
Are you suggesting the drives are accessed more slowly before this update?
Maybe ? I know R/W speeds used to be a lot slower in Windows than Linux but I thought they fixed that a few years ago.
That's mostly related to Windows Defender intercepting reads and writes and hasn't truly been fixed.
Sometimes it's literally faster to read a database using WSL than the native system.
Why would IO speed be a factor in whether a user's data is corrupted? That just sounds like a race condition.
