Leak hints at Windows 11's new feature that optimizes performance, tied to Copilot branding (?)

1 week ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Microsoft is testing a new feature called “Windows Health and Optimized Experiences,” which was first spotted in Windows 11 Build 27863 (Canary). It also has references to “Copilot,” which seems to suggest that Microsoft might use “Copilot” for branding the new PC health feature, but it doesn’t send anything to the AI assistant’s chat interface. As first spotted by developer Albacore, Windows Health and Optimized Experiences is a tiny Lua runtime tucked inside whesvc_assets.dll.

Microsoft wants to make GamePad gaming faster on Chrome for Windows 11

1 week ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

Microsoft is reducing latency when gaming on Chromium-based apps or games on Windows 11. This change will benefit all apps, including Chrome. It’s already possible to use a GamePad to play games in Chromium-based browsers, such as Edge and Chrome. That means you can use your Xbox controller to play web-based games in your browser, but the catch is that the current GamePad latency doesn’t do justice to decent web gaming on Windows 11.

Microsoft Edge 136 is finally rolling out, and it comes with Copilot AI on the New Tab Page. The integration doesn’t sound like Copilot takeover yet, but you’ll begin seeing Copilot prompts when you use the search box on the New Tab Page (NTP). When you select one of the suggested prompts, Copilot will open with the prompt ready to use.

Windows 11 24H2's Task Manager new CPU usage formula rolls out to everyone

1 week ago | windowslatest.com | Mayank Parmar

With Windows 11 24H2 KB5058411 (May 2025 Update), the Processes tab formula for CPU usage now matches the Performance and Users tabs. Previously, the Processes tab maintained a separate formula, which is why CPU usage didn’t match across all tabs, but it has been updated to match the industry standards by default. If you’re a power user and run into sluggish performance, you probably open Task Manager and look at the numbers, particularly what’s maxing out and contributing to performance issues.

In a blog post, Anthropic confirmed that Claude Opus 4 scored 72.5 percent in SWE-bench (SWE is short for Software Engineering Benchmark).
