Microsoft Scores Big Wins with Windows 11 Fixes, But Some Key Issues Remain
Microsoft's efforts to fix Windows 11 have been ongoing for six months now, and the company has made significant progress in addressing some of the operating system's major issues. One of the most notable improvements is in memory optimization, where Microsoft has been working on reducing the Windows memory footprint to deliver a fast and responsive experience across PCs with varying RAM configurations.
The company has also made strides in speeding up boot times, making the Windows 11 setup process more streamlined and quicker, and improving search functionality. The right-click menu has been decluttered, and Microsoft is allowing users to adjust privacy controls for each installed app, a feature that was previously only available with apps from the Microsoft Store.
However, despite these improvements, there are still some glaring oversights that Microsoft needs to address. One of the most pressing issues is the number of bugs creeping into Windows 11, which has been a persistent problem since its release. Microsoft also needs to take a closer look at its quality assurance and testing processes to prevent such glitches.
Additionally, the company still hasn't brought back the option to install Windows 11 with a local account instead of forcing users to link to a Microsoft Account during setup.
