Applications that cause problems with Windows 11's update feature
Some applications can make updating Windows 11 problematic, creating performance and security issues for users' computers.
Understanding this, Microsoft has asked users to uninstall applications if they want to update Windows 11 to ensure users are as safe as possible. So what is this list of applications?
According to XDA Developers, one of the applications that can prevent Windows 11 updates from happening as usual is StartAllBack - a custom application that brings the classic Start menu back to Microsoft's operating system. In addition to this application, there are a number of other applications that make updating Windows 11 impossible.
The list of applications mentioned includes ConisioAdmin.exe (Solidworks PDM), EaseUS Disk Copy.exe (EaseUS Disk Copy application), ep_dwm.exe (ExplorerPatcher), iCloudServices.exe (iCloud files shared in Explorer via WhatsApp), RadeonSoftware.exe (AMD GPU performance settings), Multi-mon + Copilot (Microsoft), MesclarSdb (Microsoft), Intel IntcOED.sys (Intel), Intel IntcAudioBus.sys (Intel), Adaptador USB 2.0 sem fio Realtek 8192su (Realtek).
The person who discovered this list is DeskModder. The research in question suggests that Microsoft blocks Windows 11 updates for anyone with any of the aforementioned apps.
Despite this situation, XDA Developers states that the use of these applications is not completely impossible. This is because users can temporarily uninstall those apps before updating Windows 11 and then reinstall them without any problems.
In this way, users can bypass Microsoft's privacy policy. At this time, it is unknown whether the company will do anything with the new workaround, but some StartAllBack fans have already tried this approach with success.
