Windows 11 Performance Variation in Certain Applications on Compatible AMD Processors
“AMD and Microsoft have determined that compatible AMD processors may exhibit reduced performance in certain applications when running Windows 11…AMD and Microsoft are actively investigating these known issues for resolution via software updates. This knowledge base article will be updated to include version numbers and delivery vehicle(s) when they are available. In the interim, customers using compatible AMD processors affected by these issues may continue to use a supported version of Windows 10.”
Benchmarked: Do Windows 11’s Security Features Really Hobble Gaming Performance?
“However, our tests show that you will still see an impact in both gaming and application performance due to the heightened security, and that’s even with the newer chips. Now, the performance hit we’ve seen surely isn’t as profound as the ~28% numbers we’ve seen bandied about, but losing 5% of your gaming performance isn’t acceptable if you don’t need the added security — especially when that represents a full CPU generation’s worth of performance improvement.”

I am running the Windows 11 Insider Preview dev build on my laptop for testing purposes. I can confirm it performs noticeably more slowly than Windows 10. I configured some system performance settings and power plan options that improved it, but Windows 10 still performs better on the same system. I have no plans to upgrade my main desktop to Windows 11 ever due to the other non-performance-related issues with it. When October 2025 rolls around, I’ll figure out a plan then.

What happened to Microsoft, everything they try to improve on is SHIT
