Microsoft releases a comprehensive performance update for Windows 11, including up to 20% improvement in response speed, efficient memory management for computers with 8GB RAM, direct actions from the search bar, improved smartphone connectivity, and reduced loading times in games.

Microsoft is releasing a comprehensive performance update for the Windows 11 operating system, focusing on improving response speed and saving resources. The update, which began rolling out over the past weekend, brings up to a 20% improvement in overall computer response speed, especially when opening the Start menu, File Explorer, and the Edge browser. The most significant improvement is aimed at computers with 8GB RAM, where the system retains up to 2GB of additional active information in memory instead of transferring it to the slow drive. The search bar has been revamped and includes 'direct actions' such as switching to dark mode or changing screen brightness. The update deepens the connection to the smartphone, allowing notifications and Android apps to be displayed on the desktop. Gamers will benefit from the Advanced Shader Delivery feature, which reduces loading times in heavy games. The Photos app has been updated with AI tools, and an option for a clean system restore from the cloud has been added. The updates are currently being distributed in the beta versions of the Windows Insider program and are expected to reach all users in the coming weeks.
