Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores.
The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks.
Opening a program? Boost away.
Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content.
Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly.
Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.
This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it.
Reading the article should be required for commenting.
Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything.
I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
