Microsoft says Windows 11 could make your PC faster
Microsoft has spent a lot of time talking about the new features offered by Windows 11, but the company has not put so much effort into improving the performance provided by the operating system. It is, so far, as the firm says that Windows 11 could make your PC faster.
Windows 11 performance improvements
According to Microsoft, there are several tweaks under the hood that help make Windows 11 a better performing operating system. There are quite substantial changes in the way the system manages applications and processes. Windows 11 will prioritize programs in the foreground, making sure they have enough resources.
This is especially useful for people who like to run multiple instances of a program or tons of tabs in a web browser, as the app itself is already running in the foreground when you launch another instance. other system resources.
In a YouTube video (via Windows Latest), Microsoft vice president Steve Dispensa of the Windows management team said, “It's seconds of time saved in this case. And the time savings add up the more you use the apps throughout your day. It is therefore responsive and fast. Prioritization in the foreground is a big part of it. And this same concept applies to the Windows shell itself, to the browser and to your open tabs in Windows 11. ”
Edge will see many of these improvements, as the company has enabled sleep tabs in the browser by default. This could amount to significant memory and processor savings in Windows 11.
Why doesn't Windows 11 support my processor?
Another performance improvement in Windows 11 is the speed at which the computer will wake up from sleep mode. Microsoft has said that sleep mode will end almost instantly on computers with 8th generation and newer processors, which is a welcome change.
Windows 11 will be here soon
With the release of Windows 11 around the corner, it's nice to hear Microsoft touting the operating system's speed and performance instead of how it looks and how many new features it will have. Of course, once the final version of the OS is available on October 5, we will be able to assess the extent of the improvement. In the meantime, we were delighted to get our hands on the final version of Windows 11.
