Quote:Microsoft has recently acknowledged a new bug hitting Windows devices, but the good news for consumers this time is that they’re not affected.
 
The company explains in a support document (via TechDows) that certain computers might experience a slow startup sequence if persistent memory is being used.
 
“After you configure a Windows-based computer to use large amounts of memory, including persistent memory, the computer takes longer than expected to start up. Additionally, increased CPU usage occurs for a short time after startup. Increased CPU usage occurs when an application frees and reallocates large ranges of memory in rapid succession,” Microsoft says.
 
The company adds that it’s all a known issue and that a future update would include additional optimizations for the startup in order to resolve this behavior.
