I thought it was me but multiple people on the net and in these forums report that Windows 11 overall "feels sluggish". It's hard to explain but it looks like there's quite a lot of extra latency/delay for doing pretty much everything: Launching applications Closing applications Minimizing/maximizing applications Clicking the start menu Navigating Settings items Etc. etc. etc. Has anyone dug deep inside of it or the OS has just become fat and requires more CPU cycles for everything? Or it requires the very latest and best CPU/GPU to work properly and if your CPU/GPU are not made in the past let's say five years, then you've got what you've got?
my 11 22h2 runs faster than ltsb 2016 and uses about the same ammount of ram. when i stop using mouse cpu usage goes 0%, thing is that it took me like three months on and off working on it. installed it on hdd gtx 660 and quad core i5 750 from 2009 and it was snappy bo bsod or other errors
No, I have disabled animations/transparency, I do not need windows to open slower just because it supposedly looks cool and to increase my electricity bill for no obvious reason, except to lower my work efficiency while waiting for menus to appear.
I tried Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 24h2 on 1950x and rx580 and alt + tabbing in and out to fullscreen games took seconds (with fps drops). I’ve tried different chipset drivers but no luck. Went back to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise and it is smooth again.
Win 11 23H2 is super smooth...but only on newer hardware. With older ones 10 is smoother. Win11 24H2 was a sluggish nightmare at the beginning but now after 26100.1000 is close to 23H2 smoothness again.
I don't think they will. What they will do is to just end its support along with Windows 10 next year...
Although it runs as fast as Windows 10, its animations are longer (as in they run for a longer time). Giving the impression the OS itself is slower. Which isn't the case. Windows 11 consumes the same amount of resources as Windows 10 does.
Yes go into windows Security, then click on App and Browser control, then click on Smart App Control Settings. Is it turned "On" or "Evaluating"? I turned this off and it fixed exactly what you are describing, however for some reason if you turn if off it is "permanent". You can not turn it back on again.
I am running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise not even noticed sluggish... I am pretty much good hardware to run... I am running 3.5ghz and 32 gb ram, 512GB SSD, other HDD and SSD.. ATGPUD2003
I have noticed my computer being sluggish lately. I use CCleaner all the time, normally before I shut it down. But in the last 6 to 7 weeks I have noticed that. the Health Check option will have 400+ mb of junk. My Custom Clean will have over 1.7 Gb of junk. I saw this and said "WTF" is going on. So, I started checking all the time. And found that within 15-20 minutes of boot that the numbers appeared in CCleaner. At a rate of 50 mb using the Health option to 1.3+ Gb for Custom. In short I call it Microsoft Data Mining for answers for there own software. I may be wrong about this, but I don't think so.
New software is new hardware requirements On old hardware. You will see the differences But on my 13700 desktop - laptop computer No bottle neck.. run just fine If you not included the bugs
When I first installed 11 yes, it was VERY sluggish , BUT I also installed it via an in place upgrade ( I didn't want to lose my settings and files). After being aggravated enough by it's sluggishness I backed up all my settings and files and did a clean install , so now Windows 11 runs just as fast ...... m-a-y-b-e a little faster than 10
I have over $5000,00 worth of new hardware A complete new state of the art computer system. I think that it's my turn to give up info too the MS cause since my system is so new.
Disable/delete defender and replace the stary menu with openshell or some other one, delete startmenuexperwncehost and you'll notice a massige difference.
