Windows 10: Windows 11 24H2 and Audio Issues

HiI have a pair of speakers connected to my computer using the jack. It was working fine until recently. All of a sudden the speakers stopped working. If I connect the speakers to my wife's work computer then the speakers are working. So this means the speakers have no issues with them. I bought a new speaker set and I have the same issue. If I connect via cable either USB or jack then there is no audio. If I connect via bluetooth then the speakers work fine. I read online that 24H2 is causing issues. Is this correct? Did 24H2 introduce audio issues? If yes, is there a Microsoft f

Windows 11 24H2 USB Audio Issues (timing out)

I have upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 (26100.712) and am having issues with getting my USB Audio systems to stay awake. Whenever there is no sound playing, my USB audio system turns itself off, thinking that there is no power to the USB port that it's connected to.

I've changed the setting in advanced power options to disable selective suspend, but this does not do anything. I've also disabled powering down the drive setting in Device Manager (for USB ports), and still no luck.

My machine is pretty much useless as a work machine now, as my USB audio (Bose Companion 5) system turns off within minutes of no audio, silencing my machine so I'm unable to hear notifications or calls.

This bug has only happened since installing 24H2, I've checked device manager and there seems to have been new drivers installed with this update, so potentially some changes there.

 

Windows Security Issue: Missing 'windowsdefender' in Windows 11 24H2 (26100.863)

Chewed on this for a day. My first post as well. Hopefully this finds people in the same boat.

Known issue

New Windows 11, version 24H2 devices that are intended to be onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint might require customers to enable the prerequisite feature. This affects all supported architectures.

IT admins might observe devices not being able to be onboarded to the Defender for Endpoint cloud service, and not receiving the expected protection as a result, even if Intune is expected to execute the onboarding sequence by applying an endpoint detection and response (EDR) policy. Intune will also display an error as it is unable to successfully apply the policy. Users may also not be able to connect to corporate resources if a Conditional Access policy is configured to require Defender for Endpoint being enabled and actively reporting in. Compliance status is visible in the Microsoft Intune device compliance dashboard. This might happen in one of the following scenarios.

• A user buys a new device that has the Home SKU. This SKU does not support Defender for Endpoint. Then the user upgrades to Pro using a Pro product key. This process, called “transmog,” does not install Defender for Endpoint, which is by design. The Defender for Endpoint agent is not correctly enrolled in the Defender for Endpoint service, and the device is not protected.
  
• A user buys a new device that has the Pro SKU, and the OEM did not install the required feature.
  

Important Defender for Endpoint has been removed from the base image for Windows 11, version 24H2 and needs to be manually installed whenever a device goes from Home to Pro.

Workaround

Use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) command-line tool to install the Windows Sense Client from an elevated command prompt. See the command below.
