Microsoft Speeds Windows 11 File Explorer Home With Low Latency Profile, Leaving 1 Deeper Problem

2 articles · Updated · Petri.com · Jun 15

Microsoft’s June Windows 11 update makes File Explorer’s Home page load almost instantly, turning one of the shell’s most visibly sluggish screens into a noticeably faster experience.
The Low Latency profile appears to briefly boost CPU speed for short interactive tasks, and the clearest gains show up in File Explorer and parts of Settings such as the Windows Update page.
Start menu, widgets and general app launches show little change, suggesting the feature is narrow and helps short shell interactions more than sustained workloads.
OneDrive folder creation, file renaming, USB eject behavior and some web-based experiences like Copilot apps still feel laggy, pointing to software inefficiency that a brief performance boost does not fix.
