Microsoft is expected to start the presentation June 2026 Security Update for Windows 11 about Tuesday, June 9, 2026. In the sixth month of the year, the software giant is rolling out new features, improvements to existing experiences, and security fixes.
In this new quality update, the software giant is rolling out the software gradually Low Latency Profile feature. Thanks to Shared Audio, it’s now possible for two people to listen to the same audio from the same source at the same time. In addition, Microsoft is updating Task Manager with improvements to monitor NPU usage.
As part of the improvements, the Camera feature gets the ability to stream the camera feed to multiple apps. Ready Experience now allows you to set a custom name for the account folder, as well as the Settings app, Windows Hello, USB, battery, personalization, and more. enables improvements to .
In this guideI will highlight the most significant changes in the June 2026 Security Update for Windows 11 versions 25H2 and 24H2, since both are the same.
New features of Windows 11 will arrive in June
Microsoft uses Controlled Feature Release (CFR) technology to roll out new improvements gradually, so it may take some time before you see them.
1. Low Latency Profile
Starting with the June 2026 update, the software giant delivers Low Latency Profilethis is a feature in Windows 11 that temporarily maxes out (or closes to) the processor frequency for one to three seconds during interactive tasks. This feature is designed to reduce latency during operations such as opening applications or opening links, rather than focusing on continuous performance. Start menuFile Explorer and context menus.
This implementation can lead to up to 40 percent faster startup time for applications and up to 70 percent faster interaction time with system features such as opening the Start menu or context menu.
The feature works automatically, meaning you won’t find an option to turn it on or off in the Settings app or Control Panel.
Low Latency Profile is an automated feature that runs in the background only when required. In other words, it is completely invisible to the end user.
Note that sensitivity improvements will vary by hardware. Computers with low-end or older components may see the biggest difference, as these systems typically struggle more with interface responsiveness, program launches, and short-term activity.
On the other hand, devices with modern high-end components may not see dramatic improvements, as the hardware already provides fast response times under normal conditions.
2. Shared Audio via Bluetooth LE devices
Windows 11 also gets a new “Shared Sound” feature that lets two people listen to the same sound from the same computer at the same time.
Feature based Bluetooth To stream audio to two compatible Bluetooth devices, such as headphones or earphones, LE Audio streaming technology makes it easy to share music, movies, games or other media without using external speakers.
Users can enable Shared Audio directly from the Quick Settings menu by selecting the “Shared Audio” option, selecting two supported paired devices, and immediately starting a session.
The system even includes a special taskbar indicator when audio sharing is enabled. The indicator provides clear visual confirmation that audio is streaming and offers quick access to manage sharing settings.
3. Task Manager with extended NPU monitoring
The task manager gets a number of improvements aimed at improving it AI Hardware monitoring and advanced system diagnostics in Windows 11.
On devices equipped with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), Task Manager can now display additional metrics for NPU activity in the Processes, Users, and Details tabs. New optional columns include NPU usage, active NPU engines, and dedicated or shared NPU memory usage, giving users deeper insight into how AI workloads are handled by the system.
Microsoft also expands the visibility of NPU hardware on the Performance page by showing GPU-integrated neural engines. This supplement provides a more complete overview of AI acceleration across the entire system, especially on newer processors that combine GPU and AI capabilities.
Another improvement introduces a new “Isolation” column that identifies which applications are running in the AppContainer sandbox, making it easier to understand application security boundaries and process isolation.
4. Camera with multiple software support
As part of the improvements included in the June update, the company is introducing new advanced webcam controls on the “Camera” settings page for Windows 11.
Adds update support “Allow multiple apps to use the camera at the same time” and “Turn on the main camera” two new features designed to improve compatibility, flexibility and troubleshooting for connected cameras.
The “Allow multiple apps to use the camera at the same time” option allows the same webcam stream to be shared in multiple applications at the same time. This means you can use a single camera in different apps at the same time, which can be especially useful for streaming, meetings and content creation workflows.
Microsoft also adds “Turn on the main camera” a feature that enables the webcam to run in simplified debugging mode. The setting is designed to help diagnose and fix camera issues when advanced features or drivers are causing problems.
5. Installation using custom folder name
The development team is also improving the Windows 11 installation experience with a new option that lets you choose a custom name for your user profile folder during installation.
The setting appears during an Out-of-the-Box Experience (OOBE) on the same page used to configure the device name. Instead of relying on an auto-generated folder name based on your Microsoft account, you can now specify a profile folder name before completing the setup.
Of course, this is as long as you follow the naming convention and don’t use special or forbidden characters.
This change gives you more control over how their account directory is created in the “Users” folder and helps prevent unwanted abbreviation or name mismatches that are usually generated automatically during installation.
If the option is omitted, Windows 11 will continue to use the default naming convention to create the profile folder. Microsoft notes that custom folder names must still follow standard Windows 11 naming restrictions and character rules.
6. Windows Hello performance improvements
The company does too Windows Hello Faster by optimizing the Windows Biometric (WinBio) service to reduce latency when resuming a device from Modern Standby.
Additionally, Microsoft is making some changes to how the system handles authentication. For example, fingerprint and facial recognition will continue to be the default methods on the lock and login screens. Of course, those methods are still available in the system.
This is true even if you used another method before. However, if you use your PIN three times, Windows 11 will default to the PIN method until you change the authentication method.
Other changes
In addition to the biggest changes, this cumulative update includes some small but welcome improvements. For example, Windows Search will now only find files with two characters, making search queries shorter and more efficient.
Personalization settings now offer more accurate color matching when setting background desktop images, and the Settings app lets you set storage size for volumes in gigabytes instead of being limited to megabytes.
Windows Central’s Take
I think the June 2026 update is a good example of the company focusing on the parts of the operating system that people interact with every day, rather than chasing headline-grabbing features. The Low Latency Profile is particularly interesting because it’s one of those improvements that most users will never know exists. However, they may feel the difference when opening apps, navigating menus, or using older hardware.
Custom profile folder selection during installation is another change that feels long overdue. It’s a small addition, but it fixes a problem that users have been complaining about for years. The same goes for Shared Audio, a practical feature that has broad appeal beyond power users.
Since Microsoft announced its plan to address the pain points of its operating system, I’ve seen the company spend less time redesigning core parts and more time polishing rough edges, improving responsiveness, and adding quality features. These changes aren’t always exciting, but they have a bigger impact on the day-to-day experience than any other visual update.
If I had to pick the most important change in this update, it would be the responsiveness improvements. Windows 11 feels better when it’s responsive, and that’s something every user can appreciate, even if they never see or change a setting.
What do you think about these new features coming to Windows 11? Let me know in the comments.
