Microsoft has flaunted the exceptional performance improvements on Windows 11 vs Windows 10 using a paid study.
Windows 11 performance RSS
A user has claimed that Windows 11 in its latest form, version 24H2, is finally "definitely" fast even on an old CPU that is not officially supported.
Micron has released a new PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD in the form of the new P310 2280 and it is backed by some big performance claims.
Some weird issue in Windows 11 could be leading to a lot of performance loss without the user even noticing it.

Despite the performance boost and optimizations, you can still be hit by VBS / HVCI even on the latest Windows 11 versions.
Microsoft has published a detailed guide on how to make your Windows PC start-up faster. It has covered three ways to do so.
You can get a free performance boost by upgrading to Windows 11 24H2 if you have an AMD Ryzen processor in your system.
AMD came under some heat recently as a result of its poor showing with the Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPUs. However, the company says that a performance patch is coming soon.
The AMD Ryzen 9000 which launched recently impressed reviewers with its efficiency but disappointed them with the overall performance. Interestingly, the CPU appears to be faster on Linux.
There is a new third-party unofficial Windows application on the block which claims to optimize your CPU and system thus reducing the temperature of the PC and preventing overheating.
One of the promises Microsoft made about Windows 11 was about the performance benefits it had. A former Microsoft engineer, however, has called Windows 11 out on its "comically bad" performance.
AtlasOS is a lightweight modified Windows variant and the developer of the ap recently reminded potential users about its benefits, which include snappy Windows performance, especially gaming.
During the revelation of Intel's 12th Gen CPUs, Microsoft claimed that users would see the true benefit of the hybrid CPUs on Windows 11. However, the kernel has revealed why that hasn't happened.
Following a recent widespread BitLocker issue that caused the "65000" error code which was mostly a reporting bug, it has been found that the default software BitLocker is causing real impact on SSDs.
Windows 11 used to come out on top but is handily beaten by Linux distro Ubuntu again in the latest set of tests. In some of these benchmarks, the performance gap is especially large.
Despite Windows 11 optimization, it was recently found that Intel's newer 13th Gen is less snappy than the 10th Gen. Interestingly, AMD's modern Ryzen 7000 is not exhibiting this to such a degree.
A bug can apparently speed up Windows File Explorer when switching to full-screen mode (by pressing F11) and then exiting full-screen mode. It makes folder content and thumbnails load much faster.
Microsoft and Intel worked together to optimize Windows 11 for the latter's hybrid CPU design. Testing however suggests that Windows 10 may indeed be a bit snappier overall than Windows 11.
Since Microsoft released Windows 11, the company, as well as partners AMD and Intel, have made optimizations to get the best out of CPUs. In case you are not happy, CapFrameX's new tool may help.

AMD took a long time to finally release a driver for its last gen Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs. However, the delay may be worth it as some users are reporting massive performance gains in ray tracing.
The February update for Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) is here. The latest release claims to improve performance by up to 50% in the case of AMD and Intel CPUs, alongside other improvements.
If you want to get a faster Windows 11 PC that is less prone to performance issues and one that is less likely to have speed problems, try these 5 tips. You'll surely see some improvement in it.
AMD announced its new Ryzen 7000X3D processors earlier. The company says it worked with Microsoft, and others, to optimize Windows 11 (and possibly Windows 10), to best take advantage of the new CPUs.
Just like a year ago, the latest Windows 11 22H2 vs Windows 10 22H2 tests also show negligible differences between the two latest OS. Even if there's a gap, it is within single digit percentages.
Intel's Clear Linux has lent a hand to AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X, and together, they have managed to extend the performance lead that Linux already had on Microsoft's Windows 11 22H2 update.
Windows 11 22H2 has been tested against the Linux kernel 6.0 running on Ubuntu 22.10. The test candidate was an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X system and just like last time, Linux has once again triumphed.
Linux (Ubuntu) has once again beaten Windows 11 and this time by a reasonably large margin. The comparisons on this occasion were done on AMD's 3D V-cache based Ryzen 7 5800X3D octa-core CPU.

Microsoft and Intel touted special Windows 11 optimization on Alder Lake when it came out. However, the performance gap has shrunk and it could be completely wiped out thanks to new Linux patch.
When Alder Lake was announced last year, Microsoft and Intel touted the special Windows 11 optimization it came with. However, the performance lead is slowly fading away against Ubuntu and Linux.
The Linux kernel version 5.19 could pack hefty gains over version 5.15 according to new tests done on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS against Windows 11 Pro. The comparisons were made on a Ryzen 6000 PRO mobile PC.
The latest comparison between Windows 11 and Linux shows the Microsoft OS struggling to hold its lead against the rival's distros. This is unlike last time, when Windows 11 was often better.
Latest testing by Puget Systems shows that Windows 11 is now able to keep up with Windows 10 in terms of hardware performance, thanks to notable improvements that have been made to the OS.
Via an AUA conducted on Reddit by the Windows Developer team, Microsoft has confirmed that it is focusing on improving Windows 11's performance especially when it comes to the UI performance.
Microsoft claims that it has plenty of changes under the hood in upcoming Windows 11. It has explained how the next-gen OS has been developed to get the best out of available hardware resources.
