Microsoft Promises Faster, Smoother Windows 11
2 Feb
Summary
- Microsoft will focus on performance and reliability improvements.
- Past updates caused critical issues like boot failures.
- Windows 11 market share dipped before rebounding recently.
Microsoft is committing to enhancing Windows 11 following widespread user feedback detailing bugs and performance problems. President of Windows and Devices, Pavan Davuluri, stated that the company's focus this year will be on consistently heard customer pain points, including system performance and reliability.
This renewed focus follows a challenging period for Windows 11 updates. Last year, a security update caused issues with USB devices in recovery tools, and more recently, a January patch led to critical problems for some users, preventing them from entering sleep mode or even booting up their computers.
Microsoft engineers are reportedly working intensively to resolve these issues. This effort comes at a crucial time, as the company officially ended support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, encouraging users to transition to Windows 11. Although Windows 11 saw a dip in global market share in late 2025, it has since recovered, indicating an ongoing effort to stabilize and improve the user experience.
