Microsoft seriously reached the point where Windows 11 now needs a temporary CPU boost mode just to feel responsive during normal desktop usage. Imagine buying modern Ryzen 9 and i9 processors with insane SSD speeds only for the OS to struggle opening Start Menu File Explorer and basic UI elements because the entire system is packed with telemetry background services web components Copilot junk Edge integrations and cloud nonsense. Instead of making Windows lighter and efficient again Microsoft’s solution is basically make the CPU hit harder for a few seconds so users stop noticing the lag. Absolute clown engineering. Windows 7 felt smoother on ancient dual core hardware than Windows 11 does on some modern machines worth thousands of dollars. Hardware keeps evolving while the operating system somehow keeps getting heavier slower and more bloated every single year 💀
