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

Anonymous

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.

    I also experienced problems with the new 24H2 update, this time it deleted all of my Bluetooth drivers.

    I tried restarting my computer and downloading the Bluetooth driver from the website where I bought the laptop, but I still can't use Bluetooth. I checked device manager and the entire Bluetooth section is just, gone. It really is an inconvenience as I can't connect my earbuds to my laptop, all of my other headphones don't connect and now I'm forced to put my volume up.

    Can anyone help pls?

    Thanks for all the detailed info. I did find a way to rollback to the 23H2 version. I only tried this on one of the 3 Win 11 computers, so that is now fixed. I have my updates set to let me know about them but not to install automatically. Maybe when the 2025 update comes out, the issue will be fixed.

    I have heard so much about this mouse mess and it's interesting that MS just doesn't care that many people can no longer us Edge, which they try to stick into everything. My office computer (this one) works 100% since no updates installed.

    thanks again.
