When Windows 11 was released, one of the most controversial issues was not its new interface, but the performance loss it showed in certain situations compared to Windows 10. This performance loss was very noticeable with Ryzen processors, but in the end have been resolved with two major updatesone at the operating system level, which comes from Microsoft, and the other at the chipset level, which is released by AMD itself.

The fact is that shortly after the launch of Windows 11, Microsoft itself promised to release patches and updates for improve the performance of said operating system. They set this goal for 2022, and after seeing the tests published by Matt Bach, a senior lab technician at Puget Systems, we can say that the Redmond giant has kept its promise, as Windows 11 now works much better than a few months ago.

In its latest round of testing to compare Windows 10 and Windows 11 for video editing, rendering and game development tasks, Matt confirmed that the first one was normally faster than Windows 11 and in some cases there was a substantial difference. However, with the passage of time and the arrival of various updates, not only the performance of Windows 11 improved, but also many of its problems disappeared.

Windows 11 is still not the absolute winner, but the difference these updates have made is very noticeable. For example, in Adobe Premiere Pro, the difference between Windows 10 and Windows 11 was small, but enough for the former to win. In VRay CUDA the performance difference in favor of Windows 11 was 20%and in Unreal Engine 4.26, the victory of Windows 11 is stunning, although in this last case everything points to the fact that it is due to a bug that affects Windows 10, which prevents it from effectively using the Alder Lake-S hybrid architecture, because as we can see in attached graphs, the difference in favor of Windows 11 is smaller for AMD processors.

The requirements of Windows 11 are higher than those of Windows 10 and the listed operating system It consumes more resources so for users who have a modest configuration, this option is still the best. In any case, if you decide to install Windows 11, you can improve performance with the following steps.
