Asterisk: Improvements will arrive to AMD hardware when we give a rat's bottom.

Too soon?

Windows changes and "improvements"... Guess, if Microsoft would return to its first stable Windows, the 25 years old Windows NT adding latest Win11 visual look to it, all would scream how fast it is, otherwise 99% would not notice any substitution

I'll take Win 2000. Not having PnP would suck.

Didn't the patch KB5041587 help AMD for 23H2 systems? Also, I think the not-yet-released 24H2 will have it integrated.

Maybe it'll finally fix the abysmal UWP version of nVidia Control Panel...

Only took a few years to acknowledge something every Window user noticed since they released Windows "apps." Why yes, I want the calculator to take literal 1 or 2 seconds to open.

While they're at it, could they fix the long-standing load bug with shortcut keybinds? If I want to launch my email app with a keybind, it will take 3 seconds to respond versus instantly if I use superkey+number to launch items from the taskbar.

edit: used wrong terminology, superkey

If Windows wants faster apps, then remove the relentless advertising and web hooks for OneDrive in Photos - especially when OneDrive has been uninstalled, Remove web search from the start Menu, and speed up the animation delay 10x. Windows would instantly feel better.

While they're at it they can remove the clipped/rounded corners from windows, return the "Uninstall or change a program" button to My Computer, and make Photos Legacy correctly display the right thumbnails instead of the generic "blank file" icon.

Then after that they could let people move the task bar, and move the power options to the left side of the start menu where it's way easier to access, make the start menu way more customizable (or at least have a classic mode), put links to documents/photos/videos/downloads in places that are actually convenient, redesign the entire Microsoft store from the ground up, label their crappy low-contrast icons, show the entire right click menu by default, increase information density in their menus by 3x... and also don't have Windows completely break and force me to do a clean install after I spent literally the last 2 weeks in the registry trying to get this horrible, backwards, unintuitive, anti-user, and unstable GUI anywhere on the same planet as usable.

Do these few simple things, and Windows 11 Microsoft might one day be able to convince up to 35% of their users to take this free "upgrade" before this awful product gets replaced by something even worse.

since Msoft dont care ........ meh

i cant count how many tweaks i had to put to render this !!#$! of windows 11 usable

Who cares, I will never use a UWP app fillstop unless it's something trivial like a calculator.

The fastest windows version is a Linux with windows gui. They need to learn what the user need and let's the user decide what they want on screen. When I install windows need to disable everything to get the cpu usage at 1%

Yes, Linux Mint with WINE is almost ideal of two worlds SIMULTANEOUSLY. Did i say SIMULTANEOUSLY? Yes, SIMULTANEOUSLY. Both Linux and Windows stuff works without any barriers and limitations, no any KVM switches, no VirtualBoxes, no restriction on graphics for client OS, no restriction on disk space for client OS, no cumbersome copying from Linux to Windows and back, no nothing. It would be really ideal when Android will swallow all Linux distros not only on mobile but also on desktop (because this is the only superstable graphics OS having no single issue for 10 billion people with their 1000 apps for 10 years in a row).

As a workaround, Microsoft recommends running the app in the background to improve launch times

I read that to be: "As a workaround, Microsoft recommends eating up your RAM as a solution for their own poor optimisation"

Next major windows app coming soon!!!

Highlights: This new app (codename: GotYou) will make all Windows 11 load-times/experience up to 100% faster, the catch, it will be $2.99 a month.

Yes this! It is so annoying. This thread "slow windows desktop keyboard shortcuts" had solution for me. Offending program was Settings app, that run in background. I've changed its permission not to run in the background and that stupid delay went away.

Looks like it is the Settings app. Thank you!
