It’s not exactly a revolution for Windows 11, but it’s an update that still gives things a boost.
After being discussed for several weeks in tech circles, Windows 11’s Low Latency Profile is finally here. With the June update— labeled KB5094126 —Microsoft has finally rolled out this feature, making the operating system a bit more comfortable to use. Available for both Windows 11 24H2 and Windows 11 25H2, the June cumulative update isn’t particularly extensive, but the addition of this Low Latency Profile should still make a significant difference in our daily lives, as it speeds up all those actions we repeat throughout the day.
Thanks to the Low Latency Profile, system resources should be better allocated ® Microsoft
Whether it’s accessing the Start menu, opening the notification center, performing a simple search, or launching an app, all these actions are affected by the Low Latency Profile. In fact, while each of these actions seems to happen in the blink of an eye… well, that blink could actually be even faster. Microsoft’s idea is to better manage resource scheduling so that more system power is allocated to these tiny tasks: oh, not for long, just long enough for the task to be completed. We’re not talking about allocating significant resources over a long period, but simply reallocating what’s needed very quickly to speed up these actions… so that system latency is as low as possible.
Microsoft points out that the improvement shouldn’t be noticeable in the same way on all machines. Indeed, on a very powerful PC, system resources are sufficient for the Low Latency Profile to make little difference. On the other hand, on so-called mid-range PCs or slightly older machines, the improvement should be much more noticeable. A subtle improvement, of course, but one that should indeed make using Windows 11 smoother.
