Microsoft staunchly defends its new 'Low Latency Profile' for Windows 11 after community backlash — says every other OS already boosts CPU speeds for quicker load times

Microsoft is defending its new "Low Latency Profile" for Windows 11, which temporarily boosts CPU speeds for quicker load times. The company faced backlash for this move, with critics accusing it of not addressing underlying performance issues. Microsoft argues that this boosting functionality is common in all modern operating systems, including Linux and smartphones. The Low Latency Profile is part of Microsoft's efforts to improve Windows 11's performance and efficiency. Despite the defense, some users and former Windows developers are questioning why Microsoft didn't address these issues sooner and are calling for deeper optimizations rather than superficial patches.
