Windows 10 21H2

Is confirmed that LDAC is coming to 21H2??? Also that Windows detect the Bluetooth headphones with mic as only one device. Is ridiculous that the quality of the sound goes to trash when using the mic on BT.

 

EDIT: Found out the culprit being the switch on the ODD caddy... Woopsie, I put the switch to the right and it's behaving fine. Weird behaviour though.

So I went back to Windows on my Zbook, and so far since fresh install it only properly shuts down, and properly restarts in safe mode but not when I use it normally? My other machine does not do this at all. Anyone else had this issue? I'm using Education Edition but I'm making a Pro USB in case I need to reinstall (for the third time) and so far anything to do with IMEI stuff I found online has done little to no difference.

 

It sounds like your installation is corrupted. Fresh install should never have any problems with shut down or restart of the computer. Unless it’s unreleased OS in a testing stage. Reinstall will almost certainly fix the issue.

 

Ah oh no I already found out the cause and it's been fine ever since!

 

What was the issue?

 

I think the switch on the caddy I have had something to do with it.

Windows 10 21H2 November Update 2021 - The official ISOs are here

The time has come. Microsoft has now made the official ISOs for Windows 10 21H2 available for download. The MediaCreationTool and also the ESDs will certainly follow soon. Actually, you only need the small feature update KB5003791 to switch to Windows 10 21H2. But for a new installation, the ISO is of course more appropriate.

Nothing has changed in the version. Only the addition “Insider” was deleted from the name. It remains the 19044.1288, which we already have on offer for you here . So if you are already on the road with Windows 10 21H2, you can lean back.

Temporary downloads of the Windows 10 21H2 November Update 2021 ISO

• We will add the ISOs as always in this post .
• Temporary links valid until November 17th. around 6 p.m.
• Win10_21H2_German_x64.iso
• Win10_21H2_English_x64.iso

With rollout of 21H2, Microsoft moves Windows 10 to annual updates
Microsoft will push feature updates for Windows 10 once annually for the next four years, starting with today's update.

 

Is this worth upgrading to? because im still on 20H2 and im planning to reinstall Windows soon.
