How to downgrade from Windows 11 24H2 to 23H2 without losing any data

I upgraded my laptop to Windows 11 24H2 since October 4 2024 using it's installation assistant, but after nearly a month of using it, I've ran into having bugs, issues and slow Windows startup speeds.

I can't stand with bugs on 24H2 anymore, so my last option is to probably roll back to Windows 11 23H2, but the "rollback option" was greyed out for over 10 days.

Is it possible to downgrade to Windows 11 23H2 without losing any data? Thanks.

    Same here! I have a Ryzen cpu aswell.

    • My battery life went down from~4h to 1h. The crazy part is that my battery life is really bad, even if I limit the CPU clock to 1ghz, which I did for testing.
    • The fans never power off.

    It is a mess! If i only knew before. I would recommend anybody to prevent this update via GPO, especially if you run windows on a laptop.

    I can't work due to this update. The script I'm running in the node always gets stuck and doesn't continue. Can someone on your team please check this issue?
