Microsoft's Windows 11 2H22 update, officially published last week, promises a slew of enhancements for gamers. The business claims that the upgrade significantly enhanced the performance of games based on the DirectX 10 and 11 APIs, focusing on lowering latency.

Microsoft promises that numerous games will receive automatic HDR capabilities and support for working with variable refresh rates (VRR) while in windowed mode. Before the update, these features required full-screen playback and were limited to DirectX 12 titles.

The new control bar in Windows 11 2H22 has also improved game support. It will now display the most recently begun and games when triggered by pressing Windows + G (or the middle button on the Xbox controller), allowing users to return to games they play regularly swiftly.

Windows 11 2H22 is DirectStorage compatible.
The upgrade also adds support for DirectStorage to the operating system, allowing users to deal with various storage configurations, including RAID0. This gives PC owners more alternatives for preparing for the technology's introduction, which should coincide with Scorn. Windows 11 2H22 will also include more natural narration voices, greater focus features, new ways to control Smart Apps, and other security and performance enhancements.  Microsoft aims to invest in future smaller, point-in-time updates to the operating system. The first wave is expected to arrive in October, including a new tab system for File Explorer, an improved Photos app, and new options for sharing files and information from the clipboard.

The main update can be done through Windows Updater or by downloading it directly from the Microsoft website.
