Microsoft Fixes Windows 11 Task Manager's Quirky Reporting of CPU Usage, and a Much-Wanted Change.
Windows 11 is getting a change to avoid confusion around different reports of CPU usage levels in Task Manager. This is just in testing, but should be rolling out to Windows 11 24H2 and 23H2 soon. A lock screen feature to give Windows 11 users the ability to pick and choose widgets is also inbound. Windows 11 has a new preview release which tinkers with Task Manager to make sure it correctly shows consistent figures for the breakdown of processor usage across its various menus.
- The consistent reporting of CPU usage in Task Manager may signal a broader trend towards greater transparency and standardization in Windows, potentially setting a precedent for future updates.
- How will this change impact the overall user experience of Windows 11, particularly for power users who rely on accurate system resource monitoring?
