Windows 11 rumored to get new mode that instantly boosts game and app performance by up to 70%, but there's a catch

Microsoft is reportedly testing a Windows 11 feature called “Low Latency Profile” to briefly boost CPU frequency and improve responsiveness.

The mode may cut app launch times and speed up UI elements like the Start menu, context menus, Outlook, and Edge.

Early claims suggest gains of up to 40% for some apps and up to 70% for certain interface loads.

If it ships, the feature could make Windows 11 feel faster for everyday use and gaming without manual tuning, though it may slightly affect battery life and power use.
