Patch Tuesday update resolves a bug that could make your
devices run slower. This is the case if you’ve skipped the last
optional update which was released in late January.
As you’re probably aware, Microsoft shipped Windows 11 to
millions of users with a bug that could make the write/read
speed slower. While these issues were allegedly fixed with
January 2022 cumulative update, some folks have been
complaining about drive sluggishness even after the
installation.
With Windows 11 February 2022 update, Microsoft has finally
delivered a full fix for performance issues. In the changelog,
Microsoft explained that it fixed a performance regression bug
that would occur on some configurations when you enable the
update sequence number (USN) journal.

Windows 11 KB5010386 (Build 22000) important changelog
- Introduces support for help feature, which is based on
Microsoft Bing technologies and it is used to recommend Help
topics that are relevant for each Windows Settings page. - An annoying bug has been fixed where the OS displays
outdated battery percentages for connected Bluetooth devices. - An issue where some image editing programs from rendering
colours correctly on certain high dynamic range displays has
been fixed. - Microsoft fixed an issue that affects the auto-hide feature
of the Windows 11 taskbar.
As mentioned at the outset, Microsoft has fixed issues with the
USN journal, which is a feature that logs changes to files on
your drive. A bug within the USN configuration is
apparently tied to SSD performance issues and installing the
patch should make the write speeds significantly faster.
Microsoft says it also made a change that would provide a
better response under low light conditions on all the supported
devices As per the changelog, a major issue has also
been fixed whereby HDR monitors won’t be able to fetch colour.
Another issue has been fixed where the operating system’s audio
service would stop responding on some configurations. Likewise,
Microsoft has patched an issue where the app’s icon will appear
on the taskbar when the apps are actually not running. The
company fixed a bug where the volume icon in the taskbar would
appear as muted.
