Windows 11, earning mixed critical-reception scores among tech pundits, didn't receive the glowing reviews Microsoft was expecting. Our recent Windows 11 review (in addition to our why I personally don't like Windows 11 feature) reveals our stance on the brand spankin' new OS: it does not live up to our expectations.

Inside a recent Reddit post (spotted because when to Geek), Microsoft revealed that it'll be focusing its efforts on improving the OS' performance. The Redmond-based tech giant states that it plans to boost how good the OS launches throughout the startup process, however, we will need more than that for all of us to be fully pleased with Windows 11.

Microsoft intends to boost Windows' startup and launch performance in 2022

On Reddit, Microsoft recently opened the ground for feedback. One commenter claimed that Windows 10's performance issues spilled over into Windows 11. "Are you looking to fix this in the near future? Because right now WinUI is an app killer for me personally," Thotaz said.

"Performance will be a place of focus for us in 2022. Lots of that focus will go into startup and launch," a Microsoft rep said. "Most of the UI elements render pretty quickly already, but it would be good to understand should there be specific UI element scaling/slowness issues you're experiencing and we might take a glance into that exact scenario."

Personally, I haven't experienced any significant performance issues on Windows 11, and my colleagues haven't either, however, everyone's experience is different depending on an array of factors. However, there is a consensus that Microsoft should be redirecting its focus to other faulty aspects of the OS which have absolutely nothing to do with performance. For instance, a common grievance is how labrythine it is to change one's default browser. However, it seems like Microsoft is double-downing on this. The Redmond-based tech giant recently blocked EdgeDeflector and other processes that thwart its mission of imposing Microsoft Edge on its users.

With Microsoft's open discussion on Reddit along with other platforms, the organization seems open to hearing users' feedback and determing how you can increase customer satisfaction. If not, macOS will begin to look mighty alluring and attractive to Windows loyalists.

Still, we've faith Microsoft could alter the tides and increase Windows 11's popularity among the masses.
