It is that time of year when Microsoft ships a new feature update for its operating system. Version 24H2 has spent quite a lot of time in the company's ovens and is now very close to its public release. It is not the biggest release the operating system has ever received, but there are still quite a few interesting changes and improvements.

I am still happily on windows 10 but seeing highlights from this article like slow context menu just makes me hope upgrade day never comes…i hope they at least fix the slow windows explorer there has been so much complaints about

“Ah, yes, the context menus. Still buggy and slow, but at least Microsoft finally addressed a major problem and added labels to common file actions, such as cut, copy, paste, share, rename, and delete. This is a big change that should make it easier for Windows 11 newcomers to understand how to use the operating system's context menus.”

Other disappointments highlighted by the article:

“I did not notice any performance difference when testing Windows 11 24H2 on my desktop computer with the Ryzen 5 5600X, 32GB of RAM, and the RX 7800 XT. On my old laptop with an 11th-generation Intel Core i3 and 16GB of RAM, Windows 11 24H2 also performed just like version 23H2, so it's all good. Of course, your experience may vary depending on the specific software/hardware combination”

“Overall, Windows 11 version 24H2 leaves lukewarm impressions. The operating system has become better here and there, but Microsoft has not addressed most of the biggest complaints. The Start menu is still meh, the dark mode is still a joke (there is no way to even auto-switch between light and dark mode), and Windows 10 still feels faster than its three-year-old successor. But for those who got accustomed to Windows 11 and left Windows 10 behind, version 24H2 will be a decent update that at least should not make things worse on the grand scale. Personally, I am okay with that.”

I'm not using the 24H2 build yet, but I have no performance issues running 23H2 on a desktop PC with an 8th gen i5 CPU. It also ran well on my previous desktop (using the same installation of Windows) with an unsupported 4th gen i5. I did experience Windows File Explorer being slow on early builds of Windows 11, but that issue was fixed long ago. Also, Windows 11 often is noticably faster than Windows 10, even on old unsupported hardware.

Very same observations running 23H2 on an even older laptop with a 3rd gen i7 and 8GB RAM.
