Microsoft rolls out Windows Low Latency Profile, giving older PCs a bit more snap when opening the Start Menu and apps
Microsoft has rolled out its Low Latency Profile (LLP) feature to Windows 11 users worldwide as part of the latest OS update, KB5094126. The feature, which was previously available exclusively to Windows 11 beta testers, is now accessible to all users.
The Low Latency Profile works by temporarily boosting CPU performance when applications launch or the Start Menu opens, resulting in noticeably faster load times. This optimization is particularly beneficial for older PCs that may struggle with responsiveness, giving them a performance boost that makes them feel more like freshly installed systems.
The update is distributed as a cumulative patch, meaning some users may have already received the LLP through automatic Windows updates. Users who haven’t yet received it can manually check by navigating to Settings > Windows Update and selecting “Check for updates.”
This addition represents Microsoft’s ongoing effort to improve Windows 11’s user experience, especially on older hardware where system responsiveness is often a concern. The latency improvements contribute to making the operating system feel snappier during everyday operations.
