Microsoft is testing a Low Latency Profile (LLP) feature that improves Windows smoothness by temporarily increasing CPU frequency. When LLP is enabled, the process of using the Start menu and launching applications will feel more responsive than before.
This feature will only be enabled temporarily and will not have a major impact on PC battery life. This is a feature that Apple has already used in macOS. Users who received early access to the LLP feature provided feedback that File Explorer, Outlook, Microsoft Store, and Paint also felt smoother when this feature was enabled.
The issue of Windows 11 feeling slow and not smooth has been a complaint from users for the past few months. Making Windows 11 more responsive is among the promises announced at the beginning of the year by Microsoft and provides additional features such as reducing Copilot integration on unnecessary features and skipping the update download process when the PC is first turned on.
