Microsoft Corporation is testing a new performance feature in Windows 11 that could significantly improve system responsiveness and reduce long-standing complaints about app stuttering and slowly Start menu performance.
The experimental feature, called Low Latency Profile, temporarily boosts CPU speed in short bursts whenever the system detects important tasks such as launching apps or opening menus.
Early reports suggest it could make Windows 11 up to 40% faster when opening applications and as much as 70% faster in Start menu responsiveness.
According to test builds being evaluated through the Windows Insider Program, the feature works by intelligently increasing CPU performance for just one to three seconds, then quickly returning the processor to energy-saving mode.
This approach is designed to balance speed with battery efficiency and heat control.
Performance monitoring tools reportedly show CPU usage spiking sharply during these bursts before dropping immediately after tasks are completed, helping eliminate delays users often experience when switching between apps.
The improvement is especially noticeable on lower-end PCs, where task scheduling delays have historically made Windows feel less responsive.
Microsoft has not yet released the feature to the public, but it is expected to roll out more widely after further testing and optimization.
What do you think will this finally solve Windows 11’s performance complaints, or is it just another temporary fix? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
