I do enjoy reading the replies...they will never just admit that their software is ****. Which is the reason for issues 90% of the time
Since Windows 11 24H2 update everything runs slow and takes longer to load
Ever since this update, my system takes a long time before it's fully up to speed. I'm talking 10 minutes or more. Even the opening screen where I enter my PIN takes longer to come up. After entering the pin, it takes a while for the app icons to show on the desktop and even then the taskbar arrives later. I can't get Outlook or Chrome to launch right away. It can take minutes for them to load and be responsive.
Even after the system is functioning more normally, it is still slower than before the update. Emails take a few seconds longer to open up. Files take longer to open. Chrome tabs take longer to show.
I've checked Task Manager. My CPU is at less than 10% and my RAM at 59% with apps open. Hard disk doesn't show a lot of activity. I've looked at processes and don't see anything that's consuming a lot of resources. Nothing obvious is showing up. I've made sure to turn off a lot of apps at start up that were unnecessary.
I've also turned off sys.main. Before that, everything was even slower and more annoying than what I have already described. Two other annoying things I've discovered. Microsoft turned off Malwarebytes and turned on Defender anti-virus without my permission. It also turned on Edge. None of these things should have been activated without asking my permission. The update should keep every app the way it was either turned on or off.
24H2 has changed something in my computer that affects all activity and load times. It is not hardware related.
I have a fairly fast cpu, ram and SSD disk access speed. This is a gaming computer. It worked fast before the update. I've made a few adjustments to speed things up but those were not necessary before 24H2.

As for turning off and turning on stuff,it's the same with mobile companies. Verizon constantly adds games to my phone,without permission. And they try and preach privacy,all while compromising my phone,with these add ons.
Ah billionaires,the ones people trust the most!

2024-12-20T17:02:33+00:00 Hi Craig - I appreciate and respect your point of view, and I'd like to explain a few things in response.
In the 6 years that I've been a member here; I've only ever made one other such "unhelpful" post. I don't jump on here and post about every frustrating bug that shows up in Windows.
Aside from frustration, one of the reasons I made that post is because I think it's important for other users to see that 24H2 is indeed responsible for the newly introduced performance issues even if they're not a gamer and even if they have a high-end system. Some of the posts / threads I've seen are giving users the impression that the problem is with their system and not the 24H2 update, and I don't think that's fair. Maybe, just maybe, my post might spare someone else some wasted time and extra aggravation.
In response to "with hundreds of teams, and thousands of employees working on Windows systems, I would love to hear how you would resolve the issues with their pacing and release schedule" - I wish I knew how to resolve their issues and schedule. My main suggestion would be proper testing and not ignoring / releasing something that is clearly significantly bugged. Maybe this is easier said than done, but if I had the kind of money and manpower that MS does, I'm pretty sure I'd have a number of developers and engineers on the QC team and would have them dedicated to testing / noticing something like this.
And in response to "If you have new insights, or hardware features you think may be unique to help troubleshoot" - I'm not an engineer nor a developer, much less a part of the Windows Update team, so I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to put the proverbial pin back in the grenade. I don't know of a "hardware feature" that can examine MS's deep code to tell us what could be wrong with 24H2, and I'd think that if one existed then the Windows Update team would have known about it before releasing it.
With that being said, I'm glad that your team has found some remediation methods that are helping you. That does present some hope for organizations like yours.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of "everyday" Windows users who are not IT people, yet are also affected by this just the same, and (IMO) shouldn't have to be given a lengthy set of steps to reverse the very thing that they were told to do regularly in order to keep their PC working properly - Windows Update.

2024-12-17T11:37:31+00:00 Hi! Besides the fact that everything loads more slowly, the performance of the games has also decreased. For example, on the CS2 benchmark I had 220fps on 23h2, now with 24h2 I have 195fps.
