Following large-scale dissatisfaction with the overall Windows experience, [Microsoft in March 2026 issued a statement](https://www.techpowerup.com/347595/microsoft-promises-slew-of-windows-11-changes-in-response-to-microslop-criticisms) explaining that it would be working to deliver "smoother navigation and more reliable performance for everyday tasks." Now, over four months later, Pavan Davaluri, President of Windows + Devices, has provided an update on the progress of this initiative in a [new X post](https://x.com/pavandavuluri/status/2083221255436812418).

In this X post, one of the more notable improvements Davuluri claims Microsoft has made during recent months—along with improvements to the Taskbar and Start—is improved memory efficiency. He explains that Microsoft has implemented "substantial improvements in memory efficiency and latency," in order to "accelerate the modernization of Windows 11," that it has reduced memory overhead across apps and components, and that the company has tuned WinUI 3 to make built-in apps use less memory. Microsoft also outlined its plans for the future of Windows 11 memory efficiency improvements, specifically stating that the Windows team will be working on "memory optimization for 8 GB and above."[](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/WpYdSxeOsGvjL3Sn.jpg)[Read full story](https://www.techpowerup.com/351281/microsoft-promises-better-windows-11-memory-efficiency)
