Microsoft is rolling out its Windows 11 CPU-boosting update – here's how to enable it

PSA: If you're using Powershell/ExplorerPatcher/StartAllBack to make 11 look and act more like 10 this update messed up a lot of their functionality (for me, anyway). So much so that I don't have time to dig in right now, but the start menu reverted to 11 and Task manager was unstable. I rolled back just so I could go to bed without another involuntary project waiting in the morning. Everything seems okay for now

It's impossible to boost a CPU with software changes. The only way to make it faster is to overclock it or to solder on extra transistors that have logic to have higher Ghz and most people can't do the latter because the transistors are so small you need a special machine to do it, not a regular soldering iron from home depot.

I hate Windows 11 even more than Vista

Oh stop. Vista was far superior to Windows 11. In fact, it was ahead of the curve, in that the aftermarket really wasn't prepared to deal with it with respect to drivers.

It did introduce the serial ATA buss. Granted it was SATA 1, and not much faster than (P)-ATA 125.It did give point to point HDD connection, doing away with the "master and slave" nonsense of PATA.

Now OTOH, Satya Nadella is of a mind to give every Windows user an, "electronic colonoscopy", with both Windows 10 and 11. I truly wish that diaper don would do the right thing for once in his life, and have ICE deport that son of a b****.

Whilst slightly off topic - OEMs were also to blame by releasing "Vista Ready" PCs (with a label on them claiming this) that could barely run the OS (too little ram and often single core CPUs). People blamed Vista rather than Dell, HP etc. 4GB Ram and either a dual or quad core CPU (even AMD's tri-core CPU) ran Vista fine - and if you could afford one at the time an SSD really helped (I splashed out on a 64GB SSD that was more than enough space for a Vista OS drive).
