Hello,

We got SIEMENS AG SIMATIC Field PG M5 computer with Windows 11 iOT Enterprise 23H2 version, and there is one update Windows 11, version 24H2, which we want to install. After download and installing it, Windows is turning into simple Windows 11 24H2, but we need Windows 11 iOT Enterprise 24H2, not ordinary. So after that we make back by restore point to iOT Enterprise 23H2. How should we act in this situation?

Sincerely,
Rimas

    Hello Rimas J.,

    thank you for posting on the Microsoft Community Forums.

    When dealing with specialized versions of Windows, like Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, it's important to ensure that updates and upgrades maintain the specific edition and features required for your use case. Here are several steps you can take:

    1. **Verify Update Sources**:
      • Ensure that you are downloading updates specifically meant for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise. Sometimes, generic updates may convert the system to a standard Windows edition.
    2. **Windows Updates Settings**:
      • Check your update settings to make sure they are configured to only download updates for the specific version of Windows you are using. This can sometimes be specified within Windows Update settings or through Group Policy.
    3. **Manufacturer Support**:
      • Given that the device is from Siemens, it would be beneficial to check if Siemens provides a specific update path or update files for maintaining the Windows IoT Enterprise edition on their hardware. Manufacturers often provide tailored updates to ensure compatibility.
    4. **Windows IoT Enterprise Licensing**:
      • Ensure that your system's licensing supports upgrading within the IoT Enterprise edition. Sometimes, licensing constraints can cause the system to revert to a standard edition.
    5. **Manual Update Installation**:
      • You might want to manually download and install the update for Windows 11 IoT Enterprise. This can be done via Microsoft Update Catalog or through Siemens if they provide such updates.

    If the problem persists, it may be best to escalate it through Siemens support channels or directly with Microsoft, especially if this is a recurring issue with the specific hardware and software combination you are using. They can provide more targeted assistance and potentially a more permanent solution.

    Hope it helps.

    Kind regards,

    Lei
