Thats an unexpected bonus…

but is it noticeable enough to actually use WIN11?

Any bets on when this performance enhancer turns into a performance detriment because it allows for an exploit?

No need to wait. Join Win11 Insiders and load up 26100.1591 (24H2, Release Preview--my favorite) right now. Today. And It's free. And the performance gains are there, already.

Happily installed the Cumulative Update Preview on my Windows 11 Pro 23H2 PC, already did my backup early Tuesday morning as i sorta predicted in my mind a Cumulative Preview update would be released today.

Will try out Forza Horizon 5 tomorrow, and other games

Running an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB

Microsoft will need support windows 10 2030 or more... windows 11 it's a nightmare. Every time I try to use I got upset with something.
