Over time we have seen an increasing amount of frustration towards Windows 11, with the ubiquitous PC OS suffering from all sorts of issues, including a substantial lack of optimisation. While Microsoft have promised previously that they are working on a solution, details surrounding the company’s ‘Project K2’ have now been unveiled.

As reported by the publication WindowsCentral, Microsoft is currently working on a project which is intended to address “the biggest complaints that people have about Windows 11 today.”

Alongside changes to the OS as a whole, benefiting both casual and power users, Project K2 is said to also be impacting the gaming side of Windows.

According to the report, Microsoft is looking to Valve for inspiration, with the Windows maker said to be viewing SteamOS “as the benchmark, and is working to optimize the platform so that steamOS and Windows gaming performance are comparable.”

Full details on what they are planning has not been shared, but per the insider, Microsoft is hoping to bring Windows up to the level of SteamOS “within the next year or two” thanks to “foundational changes that are being made to the platform in the coming months.”

Of course, all of this work is likely to also be in service of Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox, with the console said to be closer to a Windows PC than ever before.

Either way, Windows 11 is in serious need of a ton of work, and so hopefully this Project K2 proves to be the solution Windows users have been waiting for.
