Windows 11 Performance Boost: Microsoft Targets Faster Startup Times

Microsoft is working to improve performance in Windows 11, aiming for faster startup times and more responsive interactions. Mark Linton, VP of Windows & Devices at Microsoft, stated that significant gains have been made in boot times and Windows Hello responsiveness.

The company's focus extends beyond just boot speed, with broader performance enhancements intended to make menus more responsive and apps load more quickly. Some of this work is already visible in internal builds, including a feature called Low Latency Profile designed to boost CPU performance.

Microsoft is specifically targeting the growing number of Windows 11 laptops with 8GB of RAM, seeking to optimize performance on machines with limited memory. However, no specific timing or figures have been provided for when these improvements will be available to users.
