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

MICROSOFT should be the one that fixes this problem with 24H2 Update since you forced us to do that update and then the entire reason we use a pc is data processing via Virtualbox and we shouldn't have to work for hours and days to fix a MICROSOFT error.

That Device Security should NEVER be forced on the users and they should make this OS so that if a new user wants to turn on that security or turn off Hyper-V or Virtualization then they turn it off in the BIOS and let us actually use this OS without all of this torture via a Windows 11 update and we NEVER had this problem with earlier versions of Window and I have ran all of them since I was in Redmond WA for a few decades before that Microsoft building was here 42 years ago.

I just want to express how much I hate Microsoft for this 24H2 nonsense. This update has broken so many of my apps. They crash when I try to use them. No, turning off the Auto HDR does not help. No, I do not have an "old" folder because Windows deleted it. No, I do not have a previous recovery point that I can restore to because for some stupid reason Windows does not auto create those anymore. Not a single one of your "solved" threads has provided any actual solution to this complete garbage of an update. The only option I am left with is doing a clean install, meaning I have to backup 1.5TB of vital files, and lose all of my apps and saved information.

I will tell you this: If the ONLY option is a clean install, it's going to be a clean install of Linux.

Good job, Microsoft team.

You're not going to like it, but there are now 3rd party Linux drivers, so it looks like that's the only option after the forced march to 24H2 later this year. Just because Microsoft have blocked use of their own drivers in Windows now, doesn't mean they've unblocked the option to use the already developed 3rd-party ones.

I hope then that if there's 3rd party drivers for Linux then somebody makes some work on Windows.

Reallyyyyyyyyyy don't understand this decision from Microsoft, I understand not think it's worth their time anymore, but blocking their own drivers entirely so people cannot use their hardware is daft.

And I suppose I should look at my options in general if the update is going to be forced on us.

Hello Microsoft. Can you hotfix this so called "Update" ? My Computer is in serious troubles by all the hard reboots i have to make, All updates was done, with 23h2 i dont have that problem.

I expect you fix this soon !
