Microsoft Addresses DRM/HDCP Playback Issues in Windows 11 24H2
Today, Microsoft officially acknowledged problems related to DRM and HDCP video content playback on Windows 11 version 24H2 following the latest system update. The company has provided clarification on the underlying causes of these issues.
Positive Developments Amidst Challenges
On a brighter note, Microsoft has lifted the safeguard hold that restricted updates in response to these issues. This proactive measure, known as a compatibility block, is implemented to prevent broader issues from arising when problems are identified. Notably, Microsoft recently removed such a block concerning Dirac audio compatibility, allowing it to function seamlessly with the Windows 11 24H2 update.
Recent Updates: Clearing Compatibility Blocks
In a span of just two weeks, Microsoft has eliminated another compatibility block tied to a problematic Camera app that also impacted other dependent applications. As a result, users who had been unable to update can now proceed with the installation. The safeguard ID associated with this specific issue was 53340062—these IDs help IT and system administrators track ongoing compatibility concerns.
Details on the Camera App Bug
Microsoft elaborated on this camera-related bug, stating:
“After installing Windows 11, version 24H2, certain devices might experience problems using the integrated camera in scenarios where object or face detection features are enabled. This can include using the Camera app, using facial recognition sign-in options with Windows Hello, and other applications that use the integrated camera.”
A Reminder About Update Availability
While the upgrade block has been lifted, Microsoft advises patience, as it may take up to 48 hours for the feature update for 24H2 to be fully accessible for download and installation.
