Windows 11 Gets Short Bursts of CPU Boost to Speed Core App Launches

Microsoft is rolling out a Low Latency Profile (LLP) as part of the Windows 11 KB5089573 update (Build 26200.8524). Delivered via a Controlled Feature Rollout, LLP briefly maxes the CPU for 1–3 seconds to speed the launch of core in-box apps like Edge and Outlook (claimed ~40% faster) and may improve Start Menu/context menus by up to ~70%. Non-native apps rely on their own optimizations. Activation is staggered and may not be noticeable immediately, with potential slight temp increases during light tasks.
