Windows 11 August 2023 Update Resolves SSD Slowdown Issues

The August 2023 update for Windows 11 addresses performance issues with NVMe SSDs that began in March 2023, resulting in a decline in device speed of over 50%. The update rectifies the problem, with most users reporting notable improvements. The performance issues were unintentionally included in previous updates, and Microsoft did not officially acknowledge them at the time. The ultimate resolution was delivered in the August 2023 Patch Tuesday update (KB5029263), aligning with Microsoft's efforts to improve Windows 11 performance.
