Microsoft wastes no time developing its major projects. Here we include the firm’s operating systems, so much of its efforts are now focused on Windows 11. This is something that directly benefits its millions of users, as we will see below.
Keep in mind that the new operating system has received as much criticism as praise. But at the same time, it needs those from Redmond to be better in some sections, both functional and related to its interface. A clear example of all this can be found in the smooth operation of the system with some equipment configurations. And it is that, despite the news of the last update of January 2022, Windows 11 continues to suffer from a performance issue. It results in some devices running slower than they should for no reason.
The error affects hard drives and SSD drives installed on computers, which is a serious problem. Various reports have been published claiming that some storage drives run around 50% slower. We tell you all this because to date Microsoft has not adequately solved the problem. This is something that has been detected since last July 2021.
Well, initially the issue was officially resolved with the December Cumulative Update. Then Microsoft recognized the Windows bug with hard drives, NVMe drives, and SSDs by performing unnecessary actions on the write operations.
Microsoft fixes disk failure in Windows 11
But as speculated from the beginning, this fixed the performance issues for some users only. This means that reports continued to be published that SSDs or HDDs are still slower. Of course, at this time it seems that a new optional update finally solves the problem with the storage units in Windows 11. The same, named as KB5008353, apply some important fixes and also addresses the critical issue with SSDs and HDDs for all those affected.
Therefore, we could say that this is a fairly serious failure that 8 months later has finally been fixed for the signature. Parallel to the failure that we have mentioned, Microsoft points out that it has also corrected another error related to the performance of the operating system. Thus, thanks to this new optional update shipped, many users confirm that they no longer encounter the performance issue on their disk drives.
At the same time this new optional update fixes a bug affecting File Explorer. In addition to others related to Windows 11 taskbar. After all that has been said, it is clear that, despite being an optional update, all system users should install it. This is something that is especially evident for those who have been affected by the serious error with the disk drives.
