KIller Wi-Fi banned by Microsoft 2024-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5046740)

Microsoft 2024-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5046740). Is Dell going to provide updated driver for Killer Wireless-n/a/ac 1535 Wireless Network Adapter by Qualcomm Communications Inc? Anyone knows how to fix this? Adpater does not even enable and there is popup about drive is blocked by this patch.

Killer is owned by Intel, so this sounds odd.  Please post the exact error message or a screen grab of it.

If Memory Integrity is enabled on the Core Isolation screen in Win 11 on your XPS 8930, try disabling it and see what happens...

Oh, and since this is a Preview update, MS may fix it before the update is fully released. And that's a good reason never to install optional Preview updates. Let somebody else do their beta testing.

It is only called a preview. I'm on W11 24H2 released to the Public a few weeks ago I got it via MS Update.

This was installed by MS update on 11/24:

2024-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5046740)

Don't know why they are called 'Preview', but I have many like this, like this on on 9/3 on the prior Windows version at the time:

2024-08 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5041587)

I searched the web, no other reports of this either?

Might go to Intel Download Center and get the file there and install it?

OK, here is what 'Cumulative Update' means:

===================

Typically CU preview is just the update a few days to weeks early normally. 95% of the time there's no changes and when the update goes out to the masses you don't get another update because you already have it the build number will still be the same as the build number you have in the preview.

===================

Sounds like MS was playing it safe... wasn't sure of all the content, so the call it a Preview, and they were probably still testing it and possibly fixing things. Find some problems, release the 'real' one later with 'Previiew' on it appears. Rarely happens though.

@Peter1Paul I guess you could uninstall KB5046740 and see if the problem is resolved, if disabling Memory Integrity doesn't solve the problem. 

  1. Manually set a System Restore point to be safe
  2. Open CMD prompt window, run as administrator
  3. At the prompt, type in: wusa /uninstall /kb:5046740 and press Enter. 
  4. Reboot and see if that solves the Killer WiFi issue

BTW: If you search the Microsoft forum, there are lots of complaints about this KB doing odd things...
