Windows 10: Write Speed Drop / Performance Drop After Windows 11 23h2 from windows 10 on SSDs

Wishing I would have stayed with Windows 10. Ever since updating to 11 the write speed on all of my SSD's has been cut to a point where many times installing programs times out. I've read the previous posts on here for this problem and have done clean boot with no positive results, all of my drivers are up to date.

Hi ItzCrazyMc,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

It sounds like the Windows 11 23H2 update might have caused some unexpected performance issues on your Acer Aspire laptop, particularly affecting gaming performance and read/write speeds on your SSD. Let's try to troubleshoot these issues step by step:

1. Check for Driver Updates: Sometimes, after a major Windows update, certain drivers might not be updated automatically. Go to Device Manager and check for any devices showing an exclamation mark. Update those drivers or visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers compatible with Windows 11.



2. Disk Health Check: Fluctuations in read/write speeds could indicate potential issues with your SSD. Run a disk check utility or use third-party software to assess the health of your SSD. Sometimes, a failing or problematic SSD can cause read/write speed drops.

3. Check for Background Processes: There might be background processes consuming your system resources. Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and check for any applications or processes consuming high CPU, memory, or disk usage.

I recommend trying a clean boot which starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It can be used to determine whether a background service or program is interfering or causing a problem. How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support



These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by-step.

4. Rollback the Update: If the issues persist and seem to have started after the 23H2 update, consider rolling back to the previous version of Windows 11. You can do this by going to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Go back to the previous version of Windows.

I hope this helps. If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.



Your Sincerely

Read And Write Speed Drop / Performance Drop After Windows 11 23h2 Update

Hi.

I have an Acer Aspire e5-473. and for all of its lifetime up until late October, the laptop has run most games that I play completely fine, clocking over 100-150 FPS in games like Minecraft Java, Bedrock Edition, and Roblox running at low graph settings. and about 200 - 400 FPS.

After I had updated to the Windows 23H2 update. I have been noticing that the FPS drops when I was playing Minecraft. Dropped 5% ( 100 - 200 ). I keep asking myself why Windows 11 23h2 performance is not comparable to Windows 10?

When I played Minecraft Bedwars with my friend, the fps suddenly dropped to 1-20 fps, I closed the game and checked the CPU utilization, which is normal. Shutdown speed drop (STUCK ON SHUTDOWN SCREEN **** ?!!), fps drop, Idk why? I don't even overclock my CPU or RAM. When I downloaded Windows 10 custom iso for gaming I copied the iso files to a USB stick, before the Windows 11 23h2 upgrade was 100-300 MB/s. After upgrading to 23h2 10 - 4 MB/s. WHY THE HELL IS THE READ AND WRITE SPEED DROP ?!! ( AYO THIS IS AN SSD! ) ThIs iS An illegal wInDOwS 1i 22h3 I nEvER SeEn iT BeFOre. PlS fIX tHiS IsSUe
