GoKawiilMicrosoft rolls out Windows 11 performance update, up to 20% faster responsiveness
Microsoft has begun rolling out Windows 11 updates to all users after Insider testing, claiming up to 20 percent improved responsiveness through better memory management. The update lets the OS keep up to 2GB more active data in memory before offloading to storage, with Microsoft saying PCs with 8GB of RAM will notice the biggest gains. On low-memory machines, widgets will now load only when opened, freeing over 200MB of memory, while Bluetooth pairing, Windows Hello logins, and a redesigned Photos app are also getting speed and reliability improvements.
