Windows 11 Sucks Slightly Less Now, Thanks To A June Update

The June update for Windows 11, identified as KB5094126 (OS Builds 26200.8655 and 26100.8655), introduces significant enhancements and numerous bug fixes and security patches. A key feature is a low-latency profile that improves responsiveness of core system elements like the Start Menu and Search by allowing the CPU to quickly reach maximum clock speed upon user interaction. This update also refines the Start Menu, improves app launch speeds, and addresses longstanding issues such as faster downloads from the Windows Store and optimized Windows Search results. New features include multi-app camera support, Shared Audio functionality for streaming to multiple Bluetooth devices, and the ability to personalize user folder names during installation. Additionally, the update resolves 206 security vulnerabilities, including a critical kernel-level remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-45657) with a threat score of 9.8.

Windows 11’s new performance boosting Low Latency mode is now available, and here’s what it does

The latest Windows 11 update includes the Low Latency Profile feature, which enhances performance for certain applications by temporarily increasing CPU speed for brief intervals. Currently, only Microsoft's applications and native Windows 11 features can utilize this capability, but third-party applications may be able to in the future. The update, identified as KB5094126, is necessary to activate the feature, which operates quietly in the background. Users can verify the feature's functionality by ensuring the update is installed and can conduct tests to observe changes in CPU clock speed. Personal experiences with the feature show varying degrees of improvement in responsiveness, particularly on older systems.

Windows’ June update finally makes your sluggish PC feel snappier

Microsoft has rolled out the "Low Latency Profile" feature for Windows 11 as part of the June update KB5094126, available for all Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 PCs. This feature enhances responsiveness during tasks like launching applications and accessing the Start menu by temporarily increasing CPU clock speed to its maximum for 1 to 3 seconds during actions that cause lag. Users must install update KB5094126 and check for a build number of 26200.8655 for 25H2 or 26100.8655 for 24H2 to access the feature. The activation of the Low Latency Profile may not be immediately visible, and the HWiNFO app can be used to monitor CPU activity for confirmation of its activation.

Windows 11’s CPU performance boost released today, enable it using these steps

Microsoft's June 2026 Patch Tuesday update, KB5094126, introduced the Low Latency Profile feature in Windows 11, aimed at improving responsiveness of core shell experiences like the Start menu and Action Center. This feature optimizes CPU performance by allowing it to quickly reach maximum frequency for one to three seconds during user interactions, enhancing the speed of actions such as opening the Start menu. Users must install the update and may need to enable the feature manually using ViVeTool if it is not activated automatically. The Low Latency Profile is designed to work without significantly impacting battery life or thermal performance. Other enhancements in the update include Shared Audio for Bluetooth headphones, Multi-App Camera functionality, and improved Task Manager capabilities.

Microsoft Releases June 2026 Patch Tuesday Updates

Microsoft's June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11 include enhancements for versions 25H2, 24H2, and the new 26H1, which is designed for new PCs with Qualcomm ARM chips. Key features of the update include: - Shared audio allowing two users to listen to the same audio stream via Bluetooth LE audio accessories. - NPU usage displayed in Task Manager for devices with NPUs, including optional columns for NPU and NPU Engine. - Multi-App Camera support enabling multiple applications to access the camera stream simultaneously. - Improvements to the Magnifier feature for clearer announcements and support for magnifying protected content. - Customizable user folder names during setup. - Optimized Windows Search functionality for locating local files with just two characters. - Performance enhancements through a “Low Latency Profile” for faster app launches and core shell experiences. The update also addresses a BitLocker security bypass vulnerability (CVE‑2026‑45585) that could allow attackers to circumvent BitLocker Device Encryption. The KB5095051 patch for version 26H1 includes support for shared audio over Bluetooth LE and features from the previous month's update, such as Xbox mode and expanded archiving support in File Explorer.

Meet the hidden Windows 11 tool that reveals what Task Manager misses

Microsoft has integrated Sysmon into Windows 11 through a system update, allowing it to operate in the background and log activities in the Windows Event Log. Indicators of suspicious processes include the absence of icons or descriptions, incorrect parent processes, spelling errors in names, unsigned executable files, packed executables, suspicious DLLs or services, open TCP/IP endpoints, and unusual URLs or character strings. To install Sysmon, users must access the Control Panel, enable Sysmon, and restart their PC. Activation requires running a command in the Command Prompt. Sysmon logs can be viewed in the Event Viewer under Microsoft > Windows > Sysmon > Operational. Users can filter events using an XML configuration file. After analysis, suspicious processes should be scanned with antivirus software, and files can be uploaded to VirusTotal for further examination. Sysmon continuously logs events, while Process Monitor captures snapshots of running processes, and both tools are available for free from Microsoft.

What Is OneLaunch.exe? Pros, Cons, and How to Remove It

OneLaunch is a software application that creates a personalized dock and desktop environment on Windows computers, often pre-installed or bundled with other software. It has received mixed reviews, with concerns about system slowdowns and its legitimacy. OneLaunch.exe is a background process supporting the OneLaunch application, which provides quick access to applications and updates but can consume system resources. The OneLaunch browser, installed alongside the main application, can alter browser settings and redirect searches, potentially leading to unwanted advertisements. While OneLaunch is not classified as traditional malware, it is often categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) due to its bundled installation and ability to modify system settings. It can monitor browsing habits and share data with third-party advertisers. Users report intrusive behavior, such as altering default browser settings, and it can negatively impact system performance. To remove OneLaunch, users should end the running process, uninstall the application, delete leftover folders, remove startup entries, and reset browser settings. OneLaunch may reappear due to accidental reinstallations, active browser extensions, lingering scheduled tasks, or hidden companion programs. Preventative measures include downloading from official sources, reading installation screens carefully, keeping systems updated, and performing regular system checks.
