Windows 11 Update Causes Major Performance Issues on New Intel CPUs

Microsoft's latest 24H2 patches are throttling Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processors, with no fix announced yet.

  • The Windows 11 24H2 updates KB5050094 and KB5051987 are significantly reducing performance on Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processors.
  • Users report CPU throttling when applications are minimized or out of focus, with performance in benchmarks like 7Zip being halved.
  • Older processors, including AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and Intel Core i9-12900K, appear unaffected by the issue.
  • The problem may be tied to Intel's LGA 1851 platform, as the affected processor is listed as compatible with Windows 11.
  • Microsoft has yet to release a fix, leaving users to rely on temporary workarounds like beta BIOS updates or power setting adjustments.
