Windows 11.

Ever since Windows 11's launch in late 2022, some users have had issue upgrading to the new operating system due to a peculiar compatibility issue. These are directly connected to problems with Intel 11th Generation processors, forcing a small selection of people to stick with Windows 10 as each company tries to resolve the issue. 

But now, it's finally been addressed, with the announcement coming rom Microsoft itself, detailing how the company and Intel resolved issues with Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel SST) on those processors. In particular, versions 10.29.0.5152 or 10.30.0.5152 seemed to have severe compatibility issues, and with the new 10.29.00.5714 or 10.30.00.5714 versions, users are no longer on hold from upgrading.
