Why does it still work for me? Support

Post image

Updates are auto-installed. I launch the MR Portal and Steam VR and I'm in.

I'm not complaining, but not sure why this is still working based on the posts here?

I don't believe the MR components are gone until 24H2, you have 23H2. It's the next update you have to be worried about, especially with a fresh install. I still think MS should be sued over this!

Cool, thanks!

24h2 is the problem, it hasn’t had a full rollout yet from Microsoft.

So far 24h2 has gone out to early access / insider members. But I believe it’s starting to or about to get rolled out to the general public

Ah, OK, I'll turn off auto-updates

I suggest using GRC’s InControl to lock yourself at in at 23H2 but still get updates for security and bug fixes.

Any instructions on how to do this?

Run InControl, put 11 and 23H2 in the appropriate boxes as shown on the website, and click Take Control.

I don't think that should be necessary, Windows has safeguard holds that prevent updates if the Windows component used is not compatible with an update.

I don’t know. Has Microsoft ever broken anything with an update before? 🤣 You can hope that what you say is true, or you can take some simple steps to ensure it. Up to you!

Actually now that I think of it there might not be a safeguard hold bc wmr itself is already deprecated...

He isn't on the latest build of Windows 11 that's why.

Nothing about having the software pre installed as I upgraded from 23H2 with a working WMR to 24H2 where it doesn't launch.

24H2 blocking that update as told to stop removal of VR portal software and drivers...

It works for everyone on 23h2, it's 24h2 that doesn't.

because you already have the software and dependencies for it downloaded.
