Microsoft is convinced of this Windows 11 It is the best operating system he has created (or so he tells the public), so after publishing the last update for version 22H2, Moment 3, he revealed the aspects in which he had improved over the past year.

The first thing that Microsoft highlighted is a performance improvement of up to 15% in the parts of the interface that the user often interacts with, including the taskbar, notifications and quick settings. The time taken to reach the desktop is reduced by about 10% and applications launch more than 50% fasterdepending on the case.

In terms of sustainability, the Redmond giant explains that Windows 11 reveals energy recommendations and includes a Windows update that was designed to minimize the carbon footprint, leading to an average reduction in energy consumption of 6% for users using the recommended settings. Of course, the company could have already made Windows 11 not contribute to e-waste.

Another point highlighted by Microsoft is that from their perspective “Windows 11 is the most reliable version of Windows, with the latest updates continuing to improve reliability“. While it is true that everyone has their experiences here, the last two versions of Microsoft have been in the news on many occasions due to their problems and incidents. This is probably due to insufficient testing of updates before they are released.

How Windows 11 app launch times have improved.

Although they have lost importance compared to “native” applications, especially in the mobility sector, the use of web browsers is still widespread. The Redmond-based company said that “Microsoft Edge launches faster than ever and saves memory with features like Sleeping Tabs up to 83% on background tabs“.

It cannot be denied that Microsoft has worked hard to make its web browser much more than a simple Chromium clone with features that try to optimize aspects such as RAM usage, an aspect where Google’s technology is usually heavily criticized, and they simplify. privacy settings.

And as a last point among the advantages, the official Teams app is now twice as fast and consumes half the resources. This is perhaps influenced by the fact that those responsible have decided to stop using Electron, a technology that greatly facilitates the creation of cross-platform applications, but which is highly criticized in many quarters because, very simply, it is just a framework that allows you to implement a standalone website and serve it as an application.

Looking at more things that more or less directly affect the end user, the improvements introduced in File browser Windows 11, including one that avoids I/O operations to enumerate files stored in the cloud, reduced CPU usage and bulk data collection that is now 40% faster with peaks up to 67%.

Improved performance with bulk data deletion in Windows 11 File Explorer.

Windows is by far the leading operating system for PC Gaming, so Microsoft could not forget this segment. The Redmond giant mentioned that it was working on reducing stutter that some users have reported using high DPI mice. The goal, of course, is to provide a smooth, fast (with the lowest possible latency), smooth and uninterrupted experience with these types of peripherals.

As we can see, Microsoft is trying to provide the best experience through Windows 11, but today there are many who resist the update and stay with the obviously more mature Windows 10. The company believes that its latest operating system is the best, but due to the heterogeneous nature of the PC, it is almost impossible to achieve unanimity.
