Windows 11 Enhances PC Gaming with Two Key Improvements in New Update

The July cumulative update (KB5028185) for Windows 11 brings some notable improvements for gamers. One of the key changes is the optimization for gaming mice with high report rates. Previously, using a high polling rate mouse with Windows 11 could lead to stuttering issues due to the operating system’s input stack getting overloaded. With the update, these stuttering problems should be resolved, providing a smoother gaming experience for users with such gaming peripherals.

Additionally, the update addresses a critical bug related to Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) errors. TDR errors can cause games to freeze or crash, which can be highly frustrating, especially if players lose progress in the game. The fix for this issue in the update should lead to more stable gameplay without encountering TDR errors.

Overall, the July cumulative update brings performance improvements and bug fixes that benefit PC gamers on Windows 11, enhancing their gaming experience and addressing some common issues that they may have encountered previously.
