There is not a month in which the windows updates are free of controversy. Every month we find that one of the patches released for the operating system causes some kind of problem, bug or error in the operating system, and how Microsoft, despite acknowledging it, has not just solved it. However, the bug we are going to talk about today has been around since the March patches of this month, and it is making your Windows 11 computer run much slower than normal.
Since the mandatory updates in March of this year for Windows 11, users have been noticing how their computers have been. running slower and slower. This is especially noticeable in the time it takes for your PC to boot up, and also in the speed at which files are copied to SSD drives. More than 4 months have passed since these problems appeared on computers, and they are still present in security patches. Even, as some users have been able to verify, the problem is not corrected in the next mandatory updates of July 2023.
Although it is not very well known what causes the problems, what causes computers to work slower is a drastic loss of speed of SSDs. On Gen3 drives, write speeds can even drop by half (from 2600 MB/s to 1300 MB/s), and on Gen4 (faster) drives, the loss of speed is much more noticeable, going from 7000 MB /s less than 3000 MB/s.
The updates affected by these issues are:
KB5023706 and KB5023778 – March 2023 security patches KB5025239 – April 2023 security patches KB5026372 – May 2023 security patches KB5027231 – June 2023 security patches KB5027303 – June 2023 optional patch 2023. Upcoming July 2023 security patches.
In addition, users who have installed the Moment 2 update (KB5022913) have also noticed how PCs take much longer to boot and generally run significantly slower than before the patches were installed.
How to speed up Windows 11
Microsoft is, for now, aware of the issues affecting Solid State Drive (SSD) performance and is investigating a possible solution. However, this solution has not yet arrived, and an example of this is that, with the July patches, the problems will continue to be the same.
Thus, if you have been affected by this problem, the best thing to do is to uninstall the updates that we have mentioned above. Many users have shown that, after deleting them from the system, the SSDs work at full capacity again, the PC runs faster, and slow problems when starting the computer are over.
Of course, we must not forget that, by uninstalling these updates, we will be putting our PC in danger by leaving the vulnerabilities that they correct exposed to possible computer attacks. Therefore, we must choose: either improve the performance of the computer, or strengthen the security of the PC by covering possible holes, but always taking extreme precautions.
