Introduction
Windows 11 is set up by default to apply a visual performance that it feels is best for your computer. Unfortunately, as a result of this, Windows often turns on features that are visually appealing, but that have a negative impact on your computer’s visual performance. If you care more about your computer’s performance than appearance, then Windows makes it easy to quickly change a setting to optimize your computer for the best visual performance. This is also a good way to make your Windows 11 computer feel a little bit faster.
