CTOnews.com, May 3, although Microsoft will announce most of the improvements and changes to the Windows system update, sometimes there will be some changes that will not be announced. In rare cases, some changes actually reduce the quality of something.

In July last year, netizens found that Microsoft had quietly lowered the quality of the startup sound of Windows 11 22H2. Startup sound refers to a piece of music that users will hear when they turn on the computer. Netizens have found that the bit rate (the density of audio data) that initiates the sound has dropped from 1411 kbps to 352 kbps, which means the sound effect has become more blurred, but the difference may be difficult to detect.

At the same time, Microsoft also seemed to reduce the quality of Windows 11 OOBE (initial setup) animation, reducing the frame rate of the animation from 60 frames to 30 frames, meaning the animation became less smooth. Unlike the startup sound, this difference is easy to perceive.

At the same time, CTOnews.com noted that the data rate (that is, the density of video data) of the above animation has also dropped from 1914 kbps to 741 kbps, and the overall bit rate has dropped from 2235 Kbps to 1063 Kbps, which means that the picture has become more blurred.

Some netizens speculated that Microsoft may be doing this to save space and improve performance, because reducing the quality of audio and animation can reduce file size and required resources. But it remains to be seen whether it is worth it.
