Microsoft has blocked the Windows 11 24H2 update on systems with USB-connected eSCL scanners due to a device discovery issue stemming from failures to switch from eSCL to USB mode, applying safeguard ID 54762729. Affected users are advised not to manually update via the Media Creation Tool or Installation Assistant until a fix is available. Additionally, Microsoft placed another safeguard hold for systems running certain Ubisoft games (e.g., Assassin’s Creed, Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora) due to crashes, freezes, or audio issues.
