While Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 24H2 update brought many new features and performance improvements, it also brought some maddening problems for some users. In particular, problems with the System File Checker (SFC) tool have drawn the attention of users. Microsoft has rolled up its sleeves to fix these and similar problems.

The problems with the Windows 11 24H2 update will be resolved with a patch to be released in November

Users who installed the recently released 24H2 update noticed that even though they received messages that corrupt files were repaired when they ran the SFC command, they were not actually fixed. The issue was first reported by Windows Insider testers, but was not fixed until the final release of the 24H2 update.

Microsoft has now acknowledged its mistake and announced that a patch will fix it in November. It’s disappointing to see a basic tool like SFC become non-functional, especially for users who perform regular system maintenance.

However, the Windows 11 24H2 update is not limited to the SFC issue. Users also reported that the mouse cursor disappears on text fields in some Chromium-based browsers. Another major issue is the large cache files that fill up users’ storage space after the update and cannot be deleted.

The files, which are about 8.63 GB in size, cannot be deleted with disk cleanup tools. Microsoft has acknowledged this bug and said that this issue will be addressed in future updates. Although users want to take full advantage of the innovations brought by such updates, technical glitches make this process difficult.
