A cautionary tale of a Windows 11 rollout that toppled from speed to systemic risk and hard-earned lessons.
The Windows 11 deployment failure often traces to a single incompatible driver, not networking or antivirus, silently blocking updates.
A perfectly healthy PC can be 'fired' by Windows 11's feature updates if a remote policy flags it as non-compliant, halting rollout.
Applying a quiet, undocumented cumulative update can trigger a cascade that marks devices as unsafe, ejecting them from the deployment pool.
Some users were terminated from projects due to 'insufficient telemetry,' where missing crash reports falsely signaled instability during rollout.
