In this article, we will talk about the New Windows 11 26H2 Performance Improvements such as the Faster CPU or the Lower RAM Usage.
Even though Windows 11 26H2 is just an Enablement Package, users who are upgrading from older versions or even Windows 11 25H2, can now notice the New Features that have been slowly rolling out over the past few months.
Low Latency Profile
The Low Latency Profile has been a feature tested by Microsoft for quite a while. It basically boosts the CPU to its Max frequency in short periods of time to launch apps, files or use Windows Features (Start Menu, Context Menu etc.).
This New Feature can improve launch speed for Apps by 40% and Windows in general by 70%.
The only downsides that we can name are a small heat increase for the CPU and lower battery life for laptops.

Lower RAM Usage
A lot of people, even on Reddit, have noticed that Windows 11 26H2 has a lower RAM Memory Usage on idle especially and that is because Microsoft has promised some improvements for devices that are running with only 8 GB of RAM for example.
This has been a focus point for Microsoft considering the consistently rising prices of RAM.
Overall System Performance Improvements
Microsoft has also applied improvements to the launch of certain Windows 11 Apps, such as the File Explorer or Settings.
Search is also much faster, as it is indexer based on pretty much every part of Windows 11.
Most of the New Performance Improvements that have been applied to Windows 11 over the past few months, are part of the Windows K2 plan, which aims to fix Windows 11 and listen to user feedback more.
