Windows 11 Low Latency Profile Speeds 2016 Lenovo M700 as CPU Jumps From 800MHz to 3.7GHz

Summary
A 2016 Lenovo ThinkCentre M700 with a 6th-gen Core i3-6100 showed visibly faster Start, Search and Action Center response after Windows 11's Low Latency Profile was force-enabled.
HWiNFO showed the feature collapsing the chip's ramp from about 800MHz idle to 3.0GHz-3.7GHz within milliseconds; before activation, shell actions typically climbed only to roughly 2.0GHz-2.8GHz.
The gain was notable despite the i3-6100 lacking Turbo Boost, because Intel Speed Shift still lets the processor reach its fixed 3.7GHz ceiling faster during shell interactions.
The machine needed June 2026 update KB5094126, but Microsoft's controlled rollout had not enabled the feature automatically; the tester turned it on with ViVeTool feature ID 58989092.
The report said CPU utilization and thermals did not rise, suggesting the profile mainly improves perceived delay on older Windows 11 PCs rather than adding sustained load.
