Windows 11 Is Quietly Mandating Enterprise USB4 Retimers ...

What this episode covers

Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update introduces a hidden requirement for enterprise PCs: USB4 retimer chips must pass Microsoft's certification or the system won't boot with certain docks and monitors. Lucas and Luna break down what a retimer actually does, why Microsoft is cracking down now, and how IT admins should audit their hardware before the next hardware refresh cycle. With USB4 adoption accelerating in 2026, this is a sleeper issue that could stall deployment for thousands of enterprise devices if ignored. Specific numbers on compliance timelines, the role of Intel's Barlow Ridge controllers, and practical steps for IT teams to avoid surprise failures in the field. #USB4 #Windows11 #EnterpriseIT #Microsoft #Retimer #HardwareCertification #24H2 #ITAdmin #PCDeployment #DockingStations #Thunderbolt #IntelBarlowRidge #CorporateTech #DeviceCompliance #TechUpdates #WindowsPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
