en.Wedoany.com Reported - Microsoft has released optional update KB5089573 for Windows 11, which integrates a Low Latency Profile that briefly boosts CPU frequency to full performance when the system executes critical tasks, reducing latency and stuttering. This update primarily improves the responsiveness of application launches and core shell features such as the Start menu, search, and Action Center. The CPU frequency boost lasts up to three seconds and reverts once high-priority operations are completed.

KB5089573 is part of the Windows K2 (Windows K2) project, which aims to continuously improve Windows 11 through 2027. According to reports from Windowscentral and Windowslatest, internal testers have confirmed that the Low Latency Profile delivers noticeable performance improvements, with up to a 70% boost when invoking flyouts and up to a 40% boost when launching applications.

Microsoft stated that this improvement is being rolled out gradually, and users may not immediately experience performance gains after installing the update, as the system needs to wait for Microsoft to enable the feature on their PCs over the following weeks. In addition to the Low Latency Profile, this update also includes improvements to audio functionality, Task Manager, and the camera app. KB5089573 is currently a preview version, and users need to manually search for and install it in Windows Update settings or download it from the Microsoft Update Catalog. The official version is expected to be pushed to all users on the June 2026 Patch Tuesday. (PC-Welt)
