Windows 11 May update promises faster, more responsive PCs via Low Latency Profile
Microsoft’s Windows 11 KB5089573 May preview update is now generally available as an optional upgrade focused on performance and reliability. It introduces a Low Latency Profile that temporarily boosts CPU frequency to speed up actions like app launches and shell flyouts (Start, Search, etc.), and it includes reliability improvements on sign-in, lock screens, File Explorer, touch gestures, and theme changes. New features also aim to enhance usability, such as naming your device during setup and improved Task Manager behavior, plus Bluetooth sharing with two devices. The rollout is gradual, and users may not notice improvements immediately. To get it, go to Windows Settings > Windows Update > Optional updates and install KB5089573, ensuring you have the option enabled to get latest updates as soon as they’re available.
