To provide a Windows experience with reduced latency, better FPS in games, lower RAM usage, and removed telemetry (tracking), without breaking core functionality like printer support or driver compatibility.

Benchmarks from ComputerBase and TechSpot showed 21H2 performed identically to 21H1 but consumed slightly less background CPU time than 22H2 due to fewer background telemetry and “suggested content” tasks. On low-end hardware (4GB RAM, HDD), 21H2 booted 8–12% faster than 22H2.

: Windows Update is often heavily restricted or paused (sometimes up to 2038) to prevent forced restarts or performance regressions.
