Get ready for a smoother Windows 11 experience! Microsoft has announced that the upcoming 24H2 update will deliver a significant boost to performance, making updates faster, more efficient, and less disruptive.
The update’s new servicing stack boasts impressive improvements across the board. Microsoft claims installation times are up to 45.6% faster compared to previous versions. Restarts are also significantly quicker, averaging a 39.7% reduction in time. But the good news doesn’t stop there. The update will also be less demanding on your computer’s resources, with CPU usage dropping by as much as 25% in some cases.
These improvements are not just theoretical. Microsoft conducted extensive testing on both regularly updated PCs and those that hadn’t received an update in 18 months. The results clearly demonstrate the benefits of the new servicing stack. On well-maintained PCs, installation times were 45.6% faster, restarts were 39.7% quicker, and CPU usage was reduced by 15.3%. Even on older, out-of-date PCs, the improvements were substantial – installation times were 43.6% faster, restarts were 33.5% faster, and CPU usage dropped by 25%.
So how did Microsoft achieve these impressive results? The answer lies in a combination of innovative techniques. One key factor is the use of parallel processing, which allows the PC to manage multiple aspects of the update simultaneously, drastically accelerating the process.
Another significant improvement is the implementation of smart caching. This intelligent system stores already processed information, preventing your PC from repeating the same tasks. This is particularly helpful for updates that previously took a considerable amount of time.
Finally, the update is designed to leverage your computer’s RAM efficiently. The update process will analyze your computer’s available RAM and adjust accordingly, preventing it from bogging down your system.
But there’s more! Microsoft has also made significant changes to the way system and non-system apps are structured within the Unified Update Platform (UUP). This optimization means that even during major feature updates, the Edge browser will require 200MB less space.
The Windows 11 24H2 update promises to revolutionize the update experience. With faster installations, shorter restarts, and reduced CPU usage, users can expect a smoother and more efficient operating system. Get ready to enjoy a significant improvement in your daily computing experience!
