Microsoft blocks latest Windows 11 24H2 update due to driver crashes

From PC World: Microsoft has once again needed to intervene due to a problematic Windows 11 24H2 update. This time, the company has imposed an update block on devices that use an incompatible driver called sprotect.sys from SenseShield Technology, which is causing serious problems for users after the latest update.

According to Microsoft, the driver “provides encryption protection and is used by specialized security software and enterprise solutions” and “can be automatically introduced into a system as part of the installation process of many different applications” (e.g., antivirus software).

In serious cases, the compatibility problems caused by the latest Windows 11 24H2 update can lead to an increase in blue screen errors or black screen crashes. If a system no longer responds at all, often only on-board resources or repair tools can help with troubleshooting.
