Ammon News - You may have noticed that Windows 11 is going through a bit of a midlife crisis. There is a perception that Microsoft has prioritized cramming more AI features into the OS instead of fixing its many issues.

One of the major complaints is that Windows 11 is slow. In many cases, Windows games run faster on Linux than they do natively on Microsoft's OS, even with the added hurdle of running through an emulation layer.

If you're a Windows user without a beefy gaming PC, the problem is even worse. Low-end Windows laptops may have perfectly decent processors and adequate RAM for other OSes, but wheeze and lag under the burden of Windows 11.

Here are five of the most common culprits that slow Windows 11 to a crawl:


*Startup apps are convenient but slow down your PC

*Turn off the widgets and news features you probably don't use

*Get rid of OneDrive, especially if you don't use it

*Get rid of animations and visual effects to gain PC speed

*Windows Recall is a resource hog and privacy nightmare
