Avast ye, mateys! If ye be sufferin' from the cursed bug in Windows 11 that be slowin' down yer SSDs, fear not! I bring tidings of both joy and sorrow...
Windows 11's latest update has reportedly fixed a bug that was causing slowdowns for users' SSDs, although some users are still experiencing the issue. According to Windows Latest, the August cumulative update for Windows 11 has largely resolved the SSD bug. The bug first appeared in March 2023 and has persisted through subsequent updates. However, Windows Latest observed that SSD performance improved with the optional update in July, which has now been released as the full cumulative update for August. Readers of the tech site have confirmed that the bug is resolved for them.Some users have expressed their relief at the fix, with one reader stating that the August update has resolved NVMe SSD problems, but also highlighting the need for Microsoft to improve its quality assurance processes. Another reader, who manages a fleet of systems, said that the sluggish SSD issue from the March update was a glaring anomaly, but the consistent disk performance has returned with the August update. However, not all users have seen their SSD speeds return to normal, with some still experiencing slower speeds.
There has been frustration among users over the persistence of the bug since March and Microsoft's lack of communication about a solution. The fact that even the best SSDs have been affected by this glitch has compounded the frustrations. While the bug appears to be mostly fixed, some users are still affected, and Microsoft has not provided any comment on the issue. It is hoped that the remaining users suffering from the bug will see their SSDs return to normal with the September update, but there is uncertainty. It would be nice to hear from Microsoft about the cause of the bug and their plans to address it in the future.
