In the tech world, new hardware comes with a new problem. Asus has officially admitted that its recently introduced Intel Z890 motherboards have compatibility issues with the Windows 11 24H2 update. And it’s not just Asus that has this problem. Other major players are facing similar challenges. So, if you have a new Intel Z890 motherboard and want to install the latest Windows 11 update, you might want to be a bit careful.

Important warning for Asus and Intel Z890 motherboard owners: Windows 11 24H2 compatibility issue awaits resolution

For those of you unfamiliar with the problem, Asus says it’s between the integrated graphics unit of the new generation Ultra 200S series processors and Windows 11 24H2. Asus was quick to warn its users and released a new BIOS update as a quick fix.

However, it is essential to install this BIOS update before upgrading to the latest version of Windows 11. Otherwise, you may encounter various performance problems and system errors due to compatibility issues.

This problem is not limited to Asus. Other major motherboard manufacturers such as Gigabyte, MSI and ASRock have experienced similar incompatibilities. However, while these brands have not yet made a direct announcement like Asus, they have been working intensively on BIOS updates in the background.

If you are using a motherboard from one of these brands, you should check your manufacturer’s website frequently. Also, during this temporary period, users can find a workaround by disabling the integrated graphics of Ultra 200S series processors before installing Windows 11 24H2. This will protect you from performance degradation caused by updates.

Such problems are common in the hardware industry. It’s not always easy to adapt between next-generation hardware and software. However, the fact that Asus has acted quickly is encouraging for users.
