- Windows 11 is intended to keep up to 2 GiB more active data in memory on 8-GiB PCs.
- Microsoft's reported multitasking gain of up to 40 percent comes from tests using one HP Omnibook 3 and two 25H2 builds.
- Microsoft cites up to 20 percent shorter response times, based on telemetry from real Windows 11 devices with 8 GiB of RAM.
- Independent tests on Intel and AMD devices are lacking; Microsoft's percentages do not necessarily apply to every notebook with 8 GiB of RAM.
Our goal is for your 8GB PC to feel like it keeps getting better.— Pavan Davuluri, head of Windows, on the Windows Experience Blog.

- Microsoft’s April security update KB5055528 created the “inetpub” folder on Windows systems.
- Microsoft says a deleted directory requires immediate remediation, while Kevin Beaumont reported that it can block later security updates.
- Set-InetpubFolderAcl recreates the folder, applies correct permissions, and requires administrator rights to run.
- On certain server versions, the script also updates ACLs for “DeviceHealthAttestation,” created by February 2025 security updates.
On systems where KB5055528 [the April security updates] are installed, but the '%systemroot%\\inetpub' directory has been deleted, immediate remediation is required. If the 'inetpub' directory has been deleted, you must run the remediation script Set-InetpubFolderAcl.ps1— Microsoft, in its updated security advisory addressing CVE-2025-21204 and the Set-InetpubFolderAcl.ps1 remediation script
Your Windows PC might be at risk if you deleted the "inetpub" folder, but there’s a fix
