Windows 11 tests Low Latency Profile to speed app loads
Microsoft is testing a new Low Latency Profile in Windows 11 that temporarily boosts the CPU frequency for high-priority tasks, delivering up to about 40% faster app load times and 70% faster interface launches, per Windows Central. The feature runs in short bursts (1–3 seconds) when launching apps or interfaces and is aimed at improving responsiveness for both Microsoft apps and some third-party programs. It’s part of the Windows K2 performance initiative to boost Windows 11 adoption, with insiders noting minimal impact on battery life and thermals. Microsoft did not immediately comment.
