Windows 11 Might Soon Tell You Why Your PC is Struggling

Ever wondered why your PC feels sluggish? Microsoft is working on a new feature in Windows 11 that could finally give you some answers. A recently discovered update in the latest test builds of Windows 11 suggests that your system might soon be able to pinpoint exactly where your hardware is falling short—whether it’s your RAM, GPU, or even your Windows version.

What’s New?

A new FAQ section has been spotted in Windows 11’s system settings, designed to explain how hardware limitations—like low memory or an outdated GPU—could impact your PC’s performance. This feature was uncovered by Windows enthusiast phantomofearth in a recent Dev Channel build. However, Microsoft hasn’t officially announced it yet, and it’s currently hidden behind the scenes, requiring manual activation.

How Will It Work?

The FAQ appears to address common issues like:

Not enough RAM?

It’ll tell you how that might slow down your system.

A weak GPU?

OYou’ll get recommendations, especially if your graphics card has less than 4GB of memory.

Built for Enterprises

Worried about handling high call volumes? Bland AI’s infrastructure is built to scale, ensuring stability even during peak times. You’ll also get access to detailed call analytics and customized tools to help you monitor and fine-tune your phone agents’ performance. No more dropped calls or overwhelmed lines—Bland AI keeps things running smoothly.

Running an older Windows version?

The system might nudge you to update for better performance.

What’s unclear is whether these FAQs will dynamically adjust based on your specific system or if they’ll just display generic recommendations. A high-end PC probably wouldn’t need these warnings, but mid-range and budget systems might benefit from them.

Throwback to the Windows Experience Index

If you’ve been using Windows for a while, you might remember Windows Experience Index from the Windows Vista and Windows 7 days. It assigned a performance score to different components of your system, helping users understand how well their PC could handle Windows. While Microsoft moved away from that system, this new FAQ section seems like a modern take on helping users understand their hardware’s strengths and weaknesses.

When Can We Expect This Feature?

Since it’s being tested in Windows 11’s Dev Channel, it’s possible this feature will roll out to all users in a future 24H2 update. However, Microsoft has been known to scrap features before they reach the final version, so there’s no guarantee just yet.

If this FAQ section does make it to public release, it could be a handy way for users to get real-time insights into their PC’s performance—without needing to be a tech expert.
