Windows 11 Update Boosts App Launch Times with Low Latency Profile
Microsoft has rolled out an update to Windows 11 that lowers app launch times by implementing its Low Latency Profile (LLP) across all app launches. This move aims to make fully updated PCs faster and more responsive.
The August security update for Windows 11, which was first spotted by Windows Latest, employs LLP to boost CPU performance, resulting in notable improvements in app launch times. Analysts have found that the impact on battery life is minimal, with some even suggesting that this feature can improve system battery life due to faster app boot times.
This update will have a significant impact on laptops and other power-constrained systems, particularly lower-end PCs. Microsoft's Low Latency Profile is similar to features available in Linux, Android, and MacOS, but it has taken the company over a decade to implement this feature.
