Names November as the month for Win 10 H2 update – then reveals major new feature won’t arrive on time
Microsoft has released a build of Windows 11 that it claims addresses performance problems the new OS imposed on some systems. Redmond’s announcement of OS Build 22000.282 lists over 60 « improvements and fixes » on top of a lucky 13 « highlights ». One of those highlights is described as fixing « an issue that causes some applications to run slower than usual after you upgrade to Windows 11 (original release) ». Another addresses an issue that could cause Bluetooth mice and keyboards « to respond slower than expected ». A third « improves the time estimate for how long you might wait to use your device after it restarts ». Some of the improvements and fixes offer meatier fare – among them addressing « an L3 caching issue that might affect performance in some applications on devices that have AMD Ryzen processors after upgrading to Windows 11 (original release) ». AMD users have, quite reasonably, been rather miffed at being singled out, and more miffed still that their concerns weren’t addressed in the first bundle of Win 11 fixes issued last week. Another fix prevents PowerShell from eating a PC alive by creating an infinite number of child directories.
