We uncovered a major Windows 11 performance upgrade Microsoft is testing, and it could make the OS feel noticeably faster
https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows-11/microsoft-is-working-on-major-performance-boost-for-windows-11-that-will-speed-up-app-launches-and-common-actions-by-automatically-maxing-out-cpu-in-short-bursts
Here's a summary.
Microsoft is reportedly testing a feature called 'Low Latency Profile' in the Windows Insider program to improve Windows 11 responsiveness.
It works by briefly increasing CPU frequency when opening apps, system flyouts like the Start menu, or context menus.
Enabling this feature reportedly speeds up the launch of default apps like Edge and Outlook by up to 40%, and interface elements like the Start menu and context menus by up to 70%. It's also said to have a positive impact on the launch speed of other third-party apps.
It's unclear whether users will be able to toggle it on or off. At this stage, it reportedly works automatically in the background and is invisible to users. Sources cited in the article claim that because the CPU boost duration is very short, there are minimal concerns about battery life and heat generation.
