If you own a computer with AMD Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 or Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 processors, you can now improve their performance. AMD has also just announced that it has clarified the reasons why the performance of these processors was insufficient. Before we get to that, let’s talk about the update.
This optional Windows update is called KB5041587, and you can download and install it immediately by opening your Windows Update menu. This change means that you don’t need to update your Windows to version 24H2. The performance improvements offered by KB5041587 and version 24H2 will be identical, so you don’t need to wait for the frame rate to increase while you play.
The main reason for the initially slower speeds is that AMD ran tests in Super Admin mode. This mode is not recommended for those who use computers casually or for gaming. Therefore, the new update mentioned above will allow you to play games at the speeds that AMD intended to deliver with its processors.
