I'm about to build a new PC for gaming. I also have an HP G2 Reverb VR headset I'd like to use on that PC. The VR headset uses WMR that is discontinued from update 24H2. I therefore tried to download an Windows 11 ISO to save for later when I install Windows 11 but the only option now on microsoft.com is to download 24H2 at this moment. Can I request a download link to an Windows 11 update 23H2 ISO?

    Here you go.

    Windows 11 23H2 official ESD - English United States. http://dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/5c5cedfc-2821-4395-a497-c9c45ec24194/22631.2861.231204-0538.23H2_NI_RELEASE_SVC_REFRESH_CLIENTCONSUMER_RET_x64FRE_en-us.esd

    Edge/Chrome may complain that the link is insecure (i.e., HTTP instead of HTTPS). As it's a Microsoft domain, go ahead and select Keep.

    You can download 23H2 using Rufus https://rufus.ie/en/. It downloads the file from the Microsoft servers.

    (or)

    Download 23H2 via UUPDump. https://uupdump.net/selectlang.php?id=1e442ec4-1ba4-48de-95d9-b35d2cd4db72

    I have the same thing. I just did a clean install with Win11 Pro 24H2 - which turned out messed up a most important part. Since the new "core protector" and it´s setting totally bricks some game anti-cheat software - rendering them unplayable. It seems to be known by many parties (even MS) - but there is no solution in sight, so I need to get my hands on a 23H2 v.2 issue and reinstall the whole thing again.

    Unfortunatly, MS does not share any 23H2-versions to RUFUS any longer - so this is a real issue for me.

    Thank you for your help

    You can get 23H2 from UUPdump.net. Please see the link in my earlier post.
