Microsoft recently rolled out Windows 11 version 24H2 and, though there are some bugs in the update, the company is outlining on its Windows IT Pro blog that the management of updates has been significantly improved.

Among other changes the company highlighted, users should find that installing updates is now up to 46% faster; the time required to restart the computer is up to 40% less; and CPU usage should be up to 25% less than in the past.

Microsoft also rolled out various optimizations to Windows 11 that mean the updates do not take up as much storage space as before.
