Although many consider the major update of Windows 11 (version 24H2) to be one of the worst in terms of bugs and stability, there are still some positive aspects in this release and the minor fixes that the OS received over the past year.
Here are ten interesting things that Microsoft has done in 2024 for Windows 11 users.
Faster Windows Updates
Microsoft has made several changes in version 24H2 to make the OS update process quicker and less "painful" for the end user. Improvements such as parallel processing of component manifests, increased use of available RAM, and other modifications have allowed Microsoft to reduce installation time by 43%, reboot time by 33%, and CPU usage by 25%.
Enhanced Performance on AMD Systems
Windows 11 version 24H2 (which was also ported from version 23H2) runs better on systems with AM5 processors, such as the Ryzen series 7000 and 9000. The optimization of branch prediction provides a significant performance boost, resulting in an 11% increase in frames per second in games.
