Hello,
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A.
Based on the description, I understand your question is related to win 11.
Try run PC health check:

Run a full system scan using Windows Defender to check malware.
Disable unnecessary startup programs that might be slowing down your system.
Use the Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files and other unnecessary data.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards,
Molly

Hello,
If your Windows 11 system is slow, you can run the following checks:
- Use Windows Performance Monitor: Open Run (Win + R) → type
perfmon /report→ press Enter. This generates a system health report with performance issues. - Check for Corrupt Files: Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
If issues are found, follow up with:sfc /scannowDISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth- Check Resource Usage: Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) → Go to Performance tab to monitor CPU, RAM, and Disk usage. If a specific app is consuming resources, consider updating or disabling it.
If the issue persists, check for Windows updates or reinstall the OS.

Hello,
Our default Windows image is visibly slow on modern hardware with plenty of headroom - meaning that's there's more than 50% RAM, CPU free and we're on new SSDs. I am looking for software and/or methodologies that would allow us to quantify "how slow?" followed by "what's at fault?" . I suspect it's the several endpoint management tools that all have their minifilter drivers.
I've been using Windows 11 for a while, but I switched to Windows 10 because I wanted a clear things out. However, when I tested both Windows 11 and 10, I saw a 5% improvement in gaming in win 10. Does this mean anything, and why might this be happening?
