Microsoft promises Windows 11 is becoming real goodNew Win11 feature will speed up all launches and flyouts by a significant amount. The feature is called "Low Latency Profile," and works by briefly maxing out CPU frequency in short bursts to achieve faster response times.https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows-11/apple-does-this-and-yall-love-it-microsoft-vp-fires-back-at-trolls-over-windows-11s-new-performance-boost-feature-its-not-cheating-this-is-how-modern-systems-make-apps-feel-fasthttps://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows-11/microsoft-optimizes-winui-3-framework-to-increase-windows-11-responsivenessThis is a common practice, one that Apple and Google have adopted on their own platforms in recent years, yet the Low Latency Profile feature on Windows 11 has been met with a surprising amount of pushback. Users online are calling this a "lazy" solution to fix Windows 11's performance problems, and others are criticizing Microsoft for not optimizing the code to speed up performance instead.Now, Microsoft VP Scott Hanselman has taken to X to respond to these trolls, >explaining how and why this new Low Latency Profile feature is actually good for you and overall beneficial to end users. "All modern operating systems do this, including macOS and Linux. It's not "cheating"; this is how modern systems make apps feel fast: they temporarily boost the CPU speed and prioritize interactive tasks to reduce latency."Of course, the new Low Latency Profile is being worked on in addition to actually optimizing legacy code. Microsoft is doing both to ensure Windows 11 feels fast, performant, and stable. A lot of people online continue to dunk on Windows 11's progress, but the reality is that Microsoft is delivering positive changes and results. In our testing, the new Low Latency Profile feature really does make a noticeable difference in overall OS speed.

Windows 11's performance is being improved through Microsoft's ongoing Windows K2 initiative. A key part of that effort is transitioning core elements of Windows 11 to WinUI 3, the native framework of Windows.But Microsoft is doing more than just rebuilding the Start menu and other parts of the OS using WinUI, the tech giant is improving WinUI itself. A post on GitHub details Microsoft's work to improve WinUI, which will lead to even better performance of elements rebuilt using the framework."Our mission is to make WinUI 3 the best native UI platform for Windows experiences and apps and performance is at the heart of that effort," says the post by software engineer Beth Pan. They later added that, "Making this a reality means delivering performance improvements at multiple levels, including within WinUI itself."Microsoft says that we can expect to see the changes hit the development branch "soon." After that, the improvements will make their way to the winui3/main branch.A comment by Pan expands on the importance of improving the WinUI framework alongside making other improvements:"The approach here is we do what we can from framework side, and obv other teams in Windows also investigated and been doing work to improve overall launch perf, we connect/collaborate frequently to make sure the improvements will be end-to-end. It's a long-term commitment for fundamentals and quality."Windows 11 has been highly criticized for how long it takes to load core parts of the operating system. Moving those elements to WinUI, improving WinUI itself, and rolling out features like Low Latency Profile mode will result in a much snappier Windows 11.
Windows won't be "real good" until all the jeets are gone.
On demand CPU frequency scaling already exists so this sounds like pure bs
>>534984503Won't this hammer the CPU? PSP games emulate well on Android because both are ARM processors. Not some Jeetboost
>>534984503I havent noticed much latency opening the explorer. I timed it, about 680ms
>>534984753yes it will use CPU time a lotMicrosofts logics are this"you have CPU power so might as well use it"
>>534984503Windows has been a bloated piece of shit ever since windows 8.1

Microsoft Word is even worse now.
Planned obsolescence. Need to wear out those CPU's faster so that people spend more money on buying more, better, pricier, versions of the same thing. I wonder how long it will take for this feature to be always enabled and hidden with no way of turning it off.

>>534984503I just want to personally thank all you techbros for doing all the work and research into all the Linux stuff so dummies like me could switch over nice and easy. I know very little about this stuff. The only experience I ever had with programming was some ActionScript 2.0 from the Flash days lol. But I switched to Nobara KDE Linux and it's been absolutely seamless and perfect. I mean fuck, I wish I had done this a long time ago. I'm sure it's not the greatest distro or whatever and I wanted my baby normie GUI. I haven't had to troubleshoot JACK SHIT since I switched and I've been able to play ALL my Steam Games (except Chivalry 2) without any issues or fussing. The computer boots up instantly and works exactly as a normal computer does. ITS FUCKING GREAT. So thank you all for doing the work so dipshits like me didn't have to. I'll never ever go back.

>>534984503>>534984753windows 11 can only be improved by removing any unnecessary bloat for cleaner, lower workloads rather than pushing the processes harder while keeping the bloat intact (wasteful AI copilot shit, recall, more telemetries)remove all the background bloatwares, hidden spyware tasks, background telemetry, diagnostics.>>534991534use windows 7 for old PC/notebooknewer one, use 10 (LTSC) or linux, could even dual bootuse macbook if you have money to burn or workplace provide you oneapple ecosystem is as pozzed as ever but picking apple is more than enough to piss off google
>>534984503Windows has notoriously never handled hardware usage spikes in an elegant manner. I can still easily crash DWM if I forget to unload an AI model before moving over to another AI application that wants that same 24GB of VRAM and I just uninstalled the Xbox app because it was riding 32 cores as hard as it could all the time (you just had to launch it). So, this rework is probably going to be ass for a good long while before they figure it out and make it usable.
>>534984503I don't use windows. You could cover it in sugar and sexy naked ladies but I'm not going back, it's been almost 14 years.

>>534984503pretty sure I saw devs talking about this and they were bragging about making 105ms delay take like 96 ms... 96 ms to open a new window is still insanely slow considering how good modern hardware is.

it's shit
>>534984503I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Windows, is in fact, AI Slop/Windows, or as I've recently taken to calling it, AI Slop plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather a wrapper for a fully functioning slop shoveling system made useful for the slop miners, spyware, and vibecoded components comprising a fully enshitified OS as defined by our shareholders.Many AI Slop enjoyers run a modified version of an AI Slop system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of AI Slop which is widely used today is often called Windows, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the AI Slop system, developed by AI Slop Pajeets.There really is a Windows, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the AI Slop system they use. Slop is at the core: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs it wants to run at the users expense. This core is an essential part of an modern operating system, it cluls be otherwise useful by itself; shoveling can only function in the context of a complete AI Slop Shoveling system. Windows is normally used in combination with the AI Slop shoveling system: the whole system is basically AI Slop with windows added, or AI Slop/Windows. All the so-called Windows distributions are really distributions of AI Slop/Windows.
>>534984503it's like hiring more indians to do an inefficient task instead of making the task efficienthigh ram, high cpu, they just take people's resources for granted
>>534984503too late im already moving over to ubuntu
>>534984503Still using Windows 10 and it just werks, miss me with that gay shit
>>534984503Or you could just remove all the garbage and bloat? Or allow the users to do it easily? How much performance would that save? Seriously, Microsoft could be the ultimate OS and even wipe Linux off the map entirely if they actually cared about optimising things. I am still on Windows 10 and using Linux on another machine because Windows 11 is so shit.
I hear about dual booting, but what about VMs? And what would you open in it -- Windows 10? 7? How much does it matter?
>>534984503All this kvetching and fighting over consumer slop when they already have quantum computers deep in government bunkers.

>>534984503Oldfag here.Computers were faster in the 1990s. WHen I type into MS Word today, it is significantly slower than in the early 1990s on some 286 or 386SX.134K transistors in a 286 at 16-20MHz.Modern Intel desktop chip is 100 to 200 billion transistors and 5 to 6 GHz.

>>534984503>>534995189Modern Operating Systems are so depressing. Almost every developer is wasting ressources to make it look futuristic and fancy. Guess many people don't have a problem with things taking 50ms that could have been handled in 50us instead, even If this means a showdown by factor 1000.Around 2010 I got one of these 250 buck 10'' inch netbooks with a Linux based OS and installed all kind of crap to make it look cool. Later I install only the base system and was impressed how fast and smooth everything worked. The fancy settings on a brand new hardware isn't faster at all. It's only loaded with more crap.Today for me it's only a Linux (Debian or Arch) with LXDE and watching things working at lightspeed.
>>534988639I am glad that they stopped updating 10, because now at least my machine won't suddenly wake itself up in the middle of the night to run an update at max fan speed, kek

>>534995189>Computers were faster in the 1990s.Back then a lot of their core functions were written in ASM, which didn't have any of higher language (Goyslop) overhead. Clearly though, teaching ASM isn't profitable because it's usually only White Males that can do it. Not always, but usually.

If it still requires a secure boot tmp 2.0 module I'll continue not to support or promote windows 11 to clients. Simple as. I havent had one person demand it ever. Refusing to move along with microsoft saved me thousands upon thousands of dollars and my business has improved besides. Stuffing w11 with AI spyware for end-users is one thing, but trying to burn my MB inventory is another. Microsoft can get fucked, its politician-bribing corpobully monopoly bullshit makes it an enemy. I would rather change careers than buy in.
>>535006769>no documentation what they doing and how to turn them off.to document them, Microsoft would have to understand them
>>534984503great, windows will now damage your motherboard with constant overclocking. yay
Some kind of a single point of failure in WebView2 in W10 and W11 is so broken it could freeze explorer.exe and stop new windows from opening, if you have opened too many processes using it.

>>535007005But there's nothing wrong with the NT kernel itself. It's the userspace bloat and web- based UI that ruins it now.
>>534984896Windows 7 was the start, even though some people consider it beloved because it had less spyware it's still nothing compared to Win9x and XP.
>>534991564Don't be a nigger now.Both are RISC.ARM has performance issues when emulating x86 and other larger instruction sets precisely because it has to translate big instructions into several smaller ones.With PSP being MIPS, that's not a problem.
>>535007282Windows 7 was just Vista with all service packs and an extra DRM check upon the activation (how often do you change motherboard while running the same Windows installation?)
>>535007246I know what you mean but the NT kernel still has warts. I'm sure any old school Windows dev would be glad to tell you the hacky and goofy shit in the kernel that should probably be replaced/updated.Just like how in XP-era Microsoft fucked up the PAE extensions allowing >4GB of RAM on 32-bit systems. So it was left present but disabled and later users basically patched it and enabled it.
>>535001510CPUs have been turbo boosting single threads on execution for over a decade now.Motherboards and CPUs take care of it already.It's a non-feature to have in Windows for x86, but who knows, maybe they're not staying x86.Windows for ARM has been a thermonuclear disaster but they wouldn't bother developing it if they didn't have a deployment target in their sights.They wanna bring Windows to ARM for when Nvidia's gay chip becomes available and dumbass gamers want it.
>>535007246I don't know why they kept uwp, wasn't this supposed to be on windows phones, it doesn't belong on the desktop
>>535007005>>535006784>>535006594They should outsource it to several bidders instead of coding it all by themselves.
>>535007535>hacky and goofy shit in the kernelyou mean backwards compatibility code, something present in all decades old mature projects
>>535007426Aero UI was neat and the DWM stuff for live-previews was cool for the time but Windows Vista still didn't run as smoothly on hardware compared to XP.Fun fact, Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad are the latest supported processors for Windows XP. It's better to use the Duos because the higher clock speeds help more than the 4 cores in most situations because apps typically weren't multi-threaded in a meaningful way back then (especially games).XP also supports the GeForce 9 series officially (though its not difficult to get 10-series working with modified community drivers). I have a couple builds with high-end Core 2 Duo and 980 Ti, games absolutely fly on that. Playing Unreal Tournament + 2K4 at flawless frame-rates.In fact, in many cases if you found a similar era machine that was sold with Windows Vista (badged on those Dells etc) it was better if you just re-installed XP on it instead. Not because of the driver situation which was mostly older hardware trying to update to Vista. It was just because Vista/7 are heavier.Same situation with those early Asus netbooks. Vista was a disaster compared to XP due to limited resources.XP SP3 was the best desktop OS because it was the first home edition based on the NT kernel. I ran Windows 2000 for a while as well but that wasn't mainstream for users.
>>535007809gotta keep those government systems running on 386 'puters at the DMV or IRC ... Franch and Germany seem to have decided enough is enough and going full Linux for it's own Gov Dept's now
JeetOS.Just fuckin design it correctly.
>>534984503You could achieve the same results by using the same functionality as windows XP, without needing to overclock the CPU. LOL>>534984604Based. Best thing for windows is to remove bill gates from office
>>535007809no I don't mean (just) that. and it's not present in all decades old mature projects, Apple was quite the opposite. they would cut this stuff out of their OS and kernel and I'm sure Linux does too over time.Microsoft is notorious for doing this in Windows since they have the enterprise and business world that relies on their decades old applications running on the next version of Windows despite that vendor no longer existing or updating their app. the German train system still uses floppy disks and I think their Navy does too still.I don't mean it's necessarily a bad thing, I have to give credit for Microsoft to put in the work to make apps still work despite serious changes in the OS, which technically shouldn't be their problem.What I meant was other issues and limitations of the kernel. I watch and read a lot of Dave's Garage and others who were deep in Windows development in the early eras and they have a lot to say about it.Windows for the longest time had several security issues that Linux fixed a long time ago. They still do have a bunch, for example reading/writing process memory. In fact, this is why anti-cheat for games works on Windows and breaks on Linux because userland shit does not have access to that kind of snooping spyware "DRM" or "anti-cheat" (process memory manipulation).
>>534988602>just buy more RAM ahh response
>>535007902>XP SP3 was the best desktop OSNo argument here. Contrary to popular beliefs it's as close to the best PC software as it could possibly be.> It was just because Vista/7 are heavier.300 MB RAM instead of 100, the most of it reserved for hardware communication. Not that much unless you were convinced thatr 2 GB RAM is enough and you will never need more.Both systems got bad reputation because they had enabled by default that funny feature pre- loading .dlls required for the most often used applications to the memory upon the boot. In practice you could never notice it without nerds making fuss about it online.
>>534984503Grrrr..Stupid bloatware....trying to make me install windows 11!! USB correction is needed!!!

>>535008212>Windows for the longest time had several security issues that Linux fixed a long time agoIt's a meme. Linux software is crawling with CVEs, all security issues are treated as normal "bugs" in a husg- hush way, and the most basic system features are seriously underdeveloped. We are taking about "stuck in 70s mainframe room" underdeveloped.
>>534995189Based and correct pilled
>>535008265>300 MB RAM instead of 100yeah but on a lot of machines that shipped with 512MB (on a single stick no less) it was going to be a bad time. the min specs mentioned this as the requirements, though 1GB was "recommended".it wasn't so much that preloading dlls would be (just) a memory issue, you have to remember we're in the era of spinning hard drives and 5400rpm at that in many cases. yeah if you were a PC builder you might know to get a better 7200 drive with higher cache but your average consumer Dell or HP is going to have OEM cheap parts.then factor in single channel DDR2/3 because a lot of PCs came with just one stick of RAM which the average user didn't know you could and SHOULD upgrade with another stick.
>>534997950Windows 10 LTSC (essential’s only, still bloated but as good as youre gonna get on that dogass OS)7 is good but still a little bloatedIf you wanna deal with the headaches of frequently adjusting to new tech and have ample time you can look for a linux distro like mint or ubuntu. The choice is yours. TEMPLE OS if you’re feeling esoteric and don’t want modern applications whatsoever. IDK, never actually tried it but it looked very interesting
>>535006594Fuck I wish. Lifesaver.
>>535008212>They still do have a bunch, for example reading/writing process memory.Memory protection and separate virtual memory for individual processes is a norm since the deployment the first NT kernel.
>>535007902Based
>>534984604This ffs
>>535008449Every piece of software has these, I am not sure why you are singling out Linux as if it would have more than Windows. Unless you're suggesting that Microsoft has fixed "most" of them over time due to being a larger attack vector compared to Linux. I disagree with that though.Another fun fact, a lot of ATM machines here in the US still run on WinXP embedded. I worked in the financial sector for a while and the red/blue pentest teams would basically be able to infiltrate the entire ATM network and stay dormant on it for months without being detected.In the era of AI and rapid exploit discovery you are going to see Linux popup more now because it's easier to find them especially in an open-source codebase. It also means they can be fixed instead of remaining as 0-day in something closed source like Windows.The downfall of Windows will be Microsoft adding bullshit upon bullshit into the OS that no one asked for. Like the recent Notepad hack because they added Copilot to it. Not necessarily the kernel's issue but it's a built-in and heavily used Windows app for a lot of users.
>>535008858I'm not talking about virtual memory. I'm talking about Win32 APIs like Read/Write process memory, CreateProcessEx, LoadLibrary, FreeLibrary, CreateRemoteThread, etc.The fact that another user program can essentially hijack another process through DLL injection or peek/poke, or writing to "code caves" found from scanning the process memory then creating a remote thread in it is absolutely fucking wild.And that's just the tip the of the iceberg.>t. wrote countless game hacks and exploits for decades
>>535008719>spinning hard drivesI use still use them. You are aware there is a cache mechanism in both the hardware and OS to smooth things up, are you? And that software back then wasn't (unlike today) consisting of HUNDREDS of unique dlls per .exe?We are living in age of excess in the IT, and hardware out of science fiction movies barely makes it tolerable for the end user.
