Description:
Windows 11 has a serious bug that halves the speeds of NVMe SSDs, and so far Microsoft has not issued a fix.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Windows 11 continues to suffer from a problem where some NVMe SSDs are running more than 50% slower, and Microsoft still hasnt fixed it. The issue has been plaguing some Windows 11 users since the operating system was in
beta earlier this year, so the fact that several months later the problem persists has led many people to wonder when Microsoft will release a fix.
As MSPoweruser reports , a user ran CrystalDiskMark benchmark tests for the Samsung 980 Pro SSD and found that random write speeds are drastically cut.
So, if your Windows 11 PC appears to be running slowly and you are using an NVMe SSD, this could be the culprit. Analysis: Wheres the fix?
When this issue was first identified in the Windows 11 beta, Microsoft acknowledged the problem. However, no fix has been released, and its not entirely clear whats causing the problem, though some people suggest its the virtualization-based security of Windows 11 thats to blame.
Whatever the cause, this is one of the more serious Windows 11 problem weve seen, and the fact that there has yet to be a fix around three months after
it was discovered is concerning. It could mean that a fix is harder to implement. This wont be welcome news for anyone affected by this problem.
Its not a good look for Windows 11, either. Microsoft wants more people to upgrade to the new operating system, but ongoing problems like this are just going to put people off. Microsoft will need to come up with a fix, and fast. These are the best laptops of 2021
