Windows 11 gains a Low Latency Profile CPU boost via May 2026 update, unlockable now

Microsoft’s optional Windows 11 May 2026 update KB5089573 includes a CPU-boosting feature called Low Latency Profile that speeds up core UI flyouts (Start menu, Search, Action Center). Activation can be delayed by Microsoft’s CFR rollout, but you can force it now by installing the May optional update and using ViveTool with vivetool /enable /id:58989092, then reboot. Currently it improves UI fluidity but not app launches; a future update will expand the speed boost to apps. No special hardware required, and you can verify via faster UI loads or brief CPU spikes, or revert with /disable if needed.

Pixel May Update Not Fix Battery Drain Despite Other Fixes

Google's May 2026 Pixel update adds fixes for camera freeze, display flicker, and slow wireless charging at certain battery levels, but it does not resolve the ongoing battery-drain issue that arose after the March update. The problem affects Pixel 10 and older devices, including the Pixel 7 lineup, and Google has not announced a timeline for a fix as the issue is tracked on its Issue Tracker with rollout continuing in phases.

Windows 11 set for May 2026 reliability push focused on faster clipboard and stable core apps

Microsoft is delivering a May 2026 reliability update for Windows 11 across Insider channels, aimed at boosting performance and stability. The release includes fixes to core components such as File Explorer and explorer.exe, the taskbar, Settings, and clipboard history; improvements to Windows Hello, storage performance, startup app memory, audio/display rendering, and security controls for drivers and batch scripts. If the preview timeline holds, these reliability tweaks should reach general users via the April optional update and the May Patch Tuesday security update.
