Microsoft's hidden Windows 11 trick makes apps launch 70% faster. I tested it on a low-end PC, and early results are promising. Right now, when you click Start, open File Explorer, launch Edge, or right-click for a context menu, and there’s often that tiny micro-stutter before anything happens. Microsoft is now testing a feature called Low Latency Profile. Once turned on, and you do a high-priority action, Windows 11 briefly pushes the CPU to max frequency for 1–3 seconds, finishes the task faster, then drops back down. In my testing on a constrained VM with just 2 cores and 4GB RAM, the difference was obvious. Edge, Outlook, Copilot, and the Start menu opened much faster. CPU usage spiked to around 96–97%, but only for a few seconds. For high-end PCs, the difference may be small. But for budget laptops and low-end Windows 11 machines, this could be a real game-changer.


TESTED: Windows 11's upcoming "Low Latency Profile" mode brings genuine performance improvements to the OS, speeding up flyout and app launches significantly. We've benchmarked opening some apps on video with the Low Latency Profile enabled and disabled, and you can see differences in how quickly things appear. For some things, it's a fraction of a second faster, for others, it's a significant increase in speed. In our testing, this new Low Latency Profile is a major improvement in overall responsiveness when it comes to opening apps and flyouts. Our tests were conducted on a clean install of the latest Windows 11 preview build on the same hardware. windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…





















Washington's new income tax punishes the American dream. Entrepreneurs who risk it all for a decade and if unbelievably lucky, earn a windfall? Pay your fair share. The Microsoft execs making $2M a year? Taxed less. That Microsoft job only exists because some entrepreneur took the first step. When we've chased the risk-takers away, who builds the next Microsoft or Amazon? In a world turned upside down, we need entrepreneurs more than ever.



I love how leftists fundamentally misunderstand how the world works. $10T net worth isn’t “hoarding," it implies massive success and real-world progress in sustainable energy and space travel. But instead, they picture some evil cartoon boss swimming in gold coins in his mansion.
