Here's everything you need to know about Windows 11's November update
Windows 11's November update has some great additions, as well as a divisive security change — and it's worth discussing Microsoft's thinking behind the latter.
The latest Windows 11 update arrived, bringing several features and a security enhancement. Among the noteworthy additions is the ability to fully customize the right-click menu, allowing users to choose what appears in the context-sensitive options for files and folders. Additionally, Microsoft Edge now loads faster if there's an existing instance of the browser running, significantly speeding up subsequent launches.
The operating system also boasts faster resumes from standby mode, particularly when the battery level is high (above 80%), resulting in quicker resumption times for laptop users.
However, there's a security feature called memory integrity protection that has been force-enabled on Windows 11 devices through this update. While it aims to bolster security and prepare devices for future advanced security features, some gamers have reported a slowdown in frame rates. This security enhancement is gradually rolled out to eligible PCs, leaving older machines with older processors more susceptible to potential performance impacts.
