Windows 11 has a hidden feature that can make your PC run faster and more efficiently. Efficiency Mode limits how much CPU and RAM certain apps use, which can improve system responsiveness.
To use this feature, open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc. Go to the Processes tab, right-click the app you want to limit, and select Efficiency Mode.
Efficiency Mode is especially useful for apps running in the background that consume too many resources. Users have reported performance improvements of up to 76% when using the feature.
This mode also helps save battery life on laptops, making it a useful tool for mobile users. However, some apps, especially browsers, may experience issues, so it’s best to test it on individual programs.
Another way to free up RAM and boost speed is by closing unused apps and windows. Efficiency Mode allows you to keep programs running while reducing their resource usage.
While this trick can provide an instant performance boost, Windows 11 users can also explore other tweaks and settings to make their PC even faster.
For anyone struggling with slow performance or heavy background processes, Efficiency Mode is a quick and easy solution to try without spending money on hardware upgrades.
