Microsoft promises a real performance upgrade for Windows 11

Windows 11 is considered a modern, but also more resource -hungry than its predecessor. Now Microsoft announces that it is specifically working on the performance – and relies on the feedback from the users.

Microsoft wants to improve performance

Microsoft wants to make Windows 11 faster, especially members of the Windows Insider Program should give feedback if the system looks sluggish. In one new blog post underlines Microsoft his claim to work specifically on the performance of Windows 11 (via Windows Latest). It is no longer a secret that Windows 11 eats more resources than its predecessor.

Anyone who has switched from Windows 10 to the current system – especially on older computers – often notices the difference clearly. The new Copilot+ PCs run faster with ARM chips, but for many others the use experience remains growing. Microsoft now promises to remedy – if the community goes along.

Next update: 25h2 brings optimizations

Microsoft has recently been collecting performance protocols when the computer becomes slower. The prerequisite: the PC belongs to a Windows insider and the feedback is submitted via the official “feedback hub”. Only in this case will the data be transferred from the folder to Microsoft: %Systemroot % Temp DiagoutPutdir Whesvc An automatic tracking on regular devices does not take place. As usual in the insider program, Microsoft does not start the performance feedback option for all users at once.

The upcoming version 25H2 of Windows 11 should not deliver a large functional package, but noticeable improvements in stability and speed. For example, the “homepage” in the file Explorer will load significantly faster in the future: where older computers have so far needed up to 20 seconds, it should be done in two to three seconds in the future.

As part of our engagement to improve Windows performance, protocols are now collected when your PC works slowly or sluggishly. Windows Insider is encouraged to give feedback if PC problems occur in connection with slow or carriers so that feedback hub can automatically collect this protocols, which helps us to fix problems faster.

Background processes and more

Another new feature in 25h2 is intended to automatically reduce the processor if the user is not on the computer. This is how Microsoft wants to save energy and extend the battery life. However, it is unclear how reliably Windows recognizes when a user is actually absent – or whether important background processes may be slowed down.
