It looks like Windows updates might actually be speeding up the OS now
Less AI, more performance improvements: I'm here for it.
Recent Windows 11 updates appear to be enhancing the operating system's performance and user experience. The most recent update, KB5121003 with build 26200.9168/26100.9168, introduces a low latency profile that enhances app launch speeds. This feature boosts the CPU to fast speeds and quickly drops it down, which is beneficial for short tasks like opening apps.
Users should see this improvement automatically with the latest update and can verify it by monitoring their CPU clock speed in programs such as HWInfo. Apart from this, Windows 11 improvements like the Start menu's recent enhancements have been positively received. Although an earlier update caused issues with some monitors, the problem has since been resolved.
These practical updates for Windows 11 are appreciated, particularly given recent reports of Microsoft charging Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) more for Windows licenses. It seems the extra cost is justified by a snappier and more efficient user experience.
