Microsoft has always been committed to the development of the Windows operating system, and that commitment has continued over the past year. Significant improvements in speed, reliability and efficiency are all the result of innovative thinking that the company puts into improving the user experience every day.

Over the past year, a number of improvements have been made to the Windows system. For example, the speed of the Taskbar, Notifications and Quick Settings interactions has been increased by up to 15%. The impact of startup applications has been reduced by more than 50%, allowing users to work faster.

In addition, thanks to the new Energy Recommendations and Carbon-Aware Windows Update features, users use on average 6% less energy when following the recommended energy settings. In addition, the Microsoft Edge browser now starts faster than ever, and with the Sleeping Ears feature, memory usage can be reduced by up to 83% when running in the background.

Over the past decade, Microsoft has made significant progress in scaling the performance of Windows. During the development process, they set performance goals early in the design phase to ensure their products fully meet user needs. The company performs more than one million machine hours of validation every day, aimed at protecting daily build quality and ensuring team productivity.

But performance is not only taken into account in the development process, but also in use. Microsoft collects a huge amount of diagnostic data to help measure and analyse the quality metrics of the Windows. Based on this data, they are able to identify problems and find appropriate solutions. This enables them to improve the system based on performance data measured in a real user environment.

But Microsoft doesn't stop there. The next phase of the operating system's development includes Windows UX experience, application experience, wake from sleep/standby, memory and storage, and many other areas where they want to further improve performance.
