Ever since the release of Windows 11 a little under a year ago, however, a known issue has potentially been causing the operating systems gaming performance to not be as good as it should've been. The Windows 11 Shell Infrastructure issue has plagued gaming laptops and PCs for a while now, and the imminent KB5016700 update should show it the door. Windows Insider users will be among the first to try out the fix, followed by a wider stable rollout within the next couple of months. It's hard to decide whether Microsoft deserves praise for this particular performance fix, as it's a bit like thanking the bull for glueing together cups in a China shop. Nevertheless, the patch is certainly welcome, especially if you're trying to boost fps on your Windows 11 rig.

With the fix currently part of the latest Windows Insider test builds, it is expected to form a full commercial release as part of the major Windows 11 22H2 update scheduled for some point in late September. As some of you may be aware, Windows 11 has transitioned to one major update per year when compared to the two predominantly seen during the lifespan of Windows 10 so expect 22H2 to bring a lot of general performance improvement and, overall, enhanced stability features.

Even if, according to some sources, the update will also mark the death of the old-school "Control Panel" :-((( that many older Windows users will be exceptionally familiar with! What do you think though? Have yo updated to Windows 11 yet? If not, do you plan to do so after the release of the 22H2 update? Let me know in the comments!
