Microsoft: Windows 11 Now More Responsive, Runs Better on 8GB RAM

Microsoft has announced performance improvements for Windows 11, claiming the operating system is now up to 20 percent more responsive. The company has focused on optimizing various components including Start, File Explorer, Search, and Edge.

These changes are aimed at making the OS feel faster and more efficient. "A big part of that work is making smarter use of memory and system resources," said Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows experiences at Microsoft.

Virk explained that memory management and efficiency have been improved across Windows. This aims to allow more applications to remain active without impacting performance, particularly benefiting users with less memory, such as those with 8GB of RAM.

The optimizations are intended to reduce overall system sluggishness and enhance the user experience for everyday tasks. Microsoft indicated that efforts to further boost performance and reliability are ongoing.
