Microsoft has updated the Task Manager in Windows 11 to improve the accuracy of CPU utilization readings by aligning its calculations with industry standards. This update addresses discrepancies between the Task Manager and third-party applications like HWINFO and MSI Afterburner. The new calculation model will standardize metrics in the “Processes,” “Performance,” and “User” sections. A new column titled “CPU Utility” will retain the old values for users accustomed to the previous calculations. The update is currently available in the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3360 and is expected to be widely released with the upcoming 24H2 update, depending on any unforeseen bugs.

Many Windows users experience sluggish computer performance due to various factors. 1. Unnecessary startup items can slow down the PC; users can manage these by disabling non-essential apps in the Startup settings. 2. Low device storage can bottleneck performance; upgrading the SSD or using Storage Sense to reclaim space can help. 3. A buggy app consuming excessive CPU resources can be identified and terminated using Task Manager. 4. Corrupt system files can impact performance; they can be repaired using the System File Checker tool with the command sfc /scannow. 5. Downloading files from unofficial sources can introduce viruses and corrupt files; a full scan using Windows Security can help detect these. 6.
