en.Wedoany.com Reported - Microsoft has officially released the "Low Latency Profile" feature as part of its regular update cycle via update KB5094126, which is now rolling out to all Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 PCs. Previously, it was only available as a preview in May.

This feature makes Windows more responsive in certain operations. Users may notice a speed improvement, especially on older or budget PCs with weaker hardware, while more powerful machines may not experience a significant difference. The low latency profile briefly boosts the CPU clock speed to full power for at least 1 second and up to 3 seconds, but only for specific tasks such as launching an app or opening the Start menu, aiming to address lag and stuttering in everyday operations. Once the operation is complete, the CPU clock speed drops back down. This technology has been used in macOS and Linux for years, and Windows is only now introducing this feature.

To check if your PC has received this feature, users must first install update KB5094126. This update should have been pushed via Windows Update and can be viewed under Settings → System → Windows Update. If it does not appear, wait a few hours or manually download it from the Microsoft Update Catalog. After installation, the Windows version number should be 26200.8655 (25H2) or 26100.8655 (24H2), which can be found under Settings → System → About.

Microsoft is still rolling out this feature gradually. Even if your PC meets the requirements, the feature may not yet be activated, and there is no official indicator in Windows showing whether it is active. Windows Latest notes that Task Manager is too slow to correctly display the brief performance spikes caused by this feature. Users can install the free application HWiNFO to detect it: after launching, select "Full Mode," click "Start," keep the sensor window visible, and observe CPU behavior while performing operations affected by this feature (such as opening the Start menu). If the CPU spikes to its maximum within 3 seconds and then drops back, the feature is likely activated.
