24H2 bricked two of our PCs？
One of my clients runs roughly 30 PCs.
Asus Prime Z790-P 1666 with RTX 3060 and i7-13700.
Two of them already installed 24H2 and are now unusable.
Split second bluescreens (a critical process has died), explorer, task manager crashing with RAM errors and so on. Sometimes it won’t boot at the first try because Windows encountered an error.
Not sure what is causing the issue yet, updated BIOS, Chipset, Graphics driver but the problem persists.
Tried to uninstall the update on one PC by rolling back. That unfortunately also did not went through and stopped with an error (and now all it boots to an empty windows. Windows.old is still there).
This is not really an ask for help, just a heads up. Pausing Windows Updates for 4 weeks so 24H2 does not auto install, seems like a good idea.

That is because the PC lacks the security TPM 2.0 chip.
Suggestions:
- Pause or defer feature updates via Group Policy or Intune for at least 30 days.
- Try to boot into Safe mode and manually restore Windows.old.
- DISM repair using a matching 24H2 ISO and DISM /Image:C:\ /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:X:\sources\install.wim
- Create full-disk images before any further 24H2 deployments.
