Windows 11 24H2 now 'broadly available' - with a new problem
Briefly

Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 24H2 has reached broad availability, but users are confronting issues with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) applications linked to the App attach feature. A recent bug reported in the Windows Health Dashboard indicates that AVD applications may not start properly, showing an error message of 'Element not found'. Users are recommended to use VHDX images instead of CimFS for app packaging. This issue marks a notable setback for Microsoft as it promotes Windows 365 Cloud PC technology, which shares common features with AVD, while a fix isn't expected until June 2025.
Microsoft celebrated the push towards broad availability of Windows 11 24H2, despite facing issues with Azure Virtual Desktop applications, particularly with the App attach feature.
The AVD bug affects the App attach feature, which hinders the start of applications due to an 'Element not found' error, requiring users to switch to VHDX images.
The CimFS images were claimed to be faster, but the reality for users of Windows 11 24H2 contradicts Microsoft’s assurances, presenting obstacles instead of benefits.
With a fix promised by June 2025, the timing of the issue highlights challenges for Windows 365 Cloud PC promotion amid the ongoing AVD application problems.
