Windows 11 24H2 Update

[Snakehide]

After I download the Windows 11 24H2 update, I get to the login screen for my local account and enter my password correctly, but it says it is incorrect. The only way to get my system back was to go into safe mode and reverse/uninstall the update. Does anyone know why this is or have any solutions?

Did you check whether the keyboard language is the right one ? Sometimes windows will change your keyboard language and a key you think does something, actually does something else.

If it's a local account, there are ways to delete the password to get in. This could save you the need to reinstall.

 

Dunno if others are having that issue. Personally I just paused all windows update for the next few weeks, just to be sure I wouldn't get this update. Letting others test it first.

I checked the password via the peek option, and it was entered correctly each time, so I don't know why keyboard language would be the problem.

 

You think a password reset disk would be a fix?

I mean... Yeah. If this is truly a local account and not a microsoft account. It would essentially remove the password from the account, letting you right in.

Microsoft just wants you make a Microsoft account, it's not a bug... (of course they'll say it's a bug .. )

You basically have to constantly pause updates at this point... At some point one will slip through and Microsoft can successfully f your stuff up!  (well, fingers crossed I'm wrong!)
