Windows 11 August Update: Faster Apps Arrive!
12 Aug
Summary
- Apps now launch faster with the Low Latency Profile extension.
- Voice Access gains Voice Isolation to filter background noise.
- Windows search improved for app typos and settings results.
Microsoft has released the August update for Windows 11, introducing several performance and usability enhancements. A key feature is the expansion of the Low Latency Profile (LLP), which now applies to all applications, resulting in noticeably faster app launch times. This functionality, previously limited to system menus, intelligently boosts CPU speed during application starts.
The update also enhances Windows 11's built-in Voice Access feature with Voice Isolation. This new capability filters out ambient sounds and other voices, ensuring that only the user's speech is registered. This improvement aims to make voice commands more reliable in noisy environments.
Furthermore, Windows search receives an upgrade, improving its ability to find apps even with typos or partial names. Search results for settings are also being refined, with more relevant options appearing higher. Other additions include new touchpad gesture controls and the return of manual energy saver level settings for laptops.
