Earlier today, Microsoft confirmed DRM/HDCP video content playback issues on Windows 11 24H2 with the latest update. The company has explained what is causing the problems.
There is also some good news as safeguard hold has also been removed. Compatibilty blocks are essentially placed by the tech giant as a way to safeguard against widespread issues once problems are detected. Microsoft recently lifted a compatibility block regarding Dirac audio and the software is finally playing well with Windows 11 24H2.
However, Neowin forum member BritBronco noted in the comments of the article that were still not able to download and install version 24H2. In less than two weeks, Microsoft has now removed another compatibility block, one that was imposed as a result of a buggy Camera app that was also affecting other apps that were reliant on it. So this means those who have been held back can finally get the update. The safeguard ID for this issue was 53340062. Such safeguard IDs are used by IT admins and sysadmins to keep track of current known blocks.
About this bug, Microsoft wrote:
"After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, certain devices might experience problems using the integrated camera in scenarios where object or face detection features are enabled. This can include using the Camera app, using facial recognition sign-in options with Windows Hello, and other applications that use the integrated camera."
While the upgrade block is being no longer enforced, the company does ask to keep in mind that it can still take up to 48 hours or two days for the 24H2 feature update to become available for download and install.
