Should I Upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 from 23H2

(Win 11 Pro 23H2) I had to roll back my update for this as there were quite a lot of weird things happened.

Before I restored to the previous build - as far as I looked - I lost all audio capability (trouble shooter did not help at all) and some icons in the Windows Menu were missing (although the text was there).

 may try again, but some guidance would be helpful.

I must advise that the 24H2 update broke my Win 11 wifi (not my wifi/BT radio hardware)-- it simply would not achieve a connection with my existing SSID on my wifi home network. Tried every trick in the book-- different WPA security selections, different 802.11 selections, etc. I rolled my PC (ASUS Zenbook 15, a late 2022 model) back to 23H2. All became well again, no problems with the wifi connectivity.
