Multiple word documents are open simultaneously causing performance issues.
Does anyone know what the optimal size of Word documents should be if you have multiple word documents open simultaneously? I frequently access two Word documents at are about 800KB each. When I have both open, I notice a significant performance degradation when I do searches, add/modify/delete contact, toggle between the documents. This really impacts my productivity. I am wondering I should reduce the size of these files or move them to a different drive or memory stick to improve performance. I don't want to break these documents up yet given that instead of having two Word documents open, I might have four Word documents open simultaneously and still have the performance issues. I have performed online repairs of Microsoft 365 and checked my addins but nothing seems to help.Project Diamond Windows 12 Vision
Project Diamond is a proposal for what Windows 12 should become: a fast, clean, and modern operating system that finally unleashes the full potential of today’s hardware. The goal is to bring back the speed of Windows 8, the practicality of Windows 7, and add modern features—without the bloat that slowed down Windows 10 and 11. Core Pillars of Project Diamond 1. Speed like Windows 8 • True instant boot in ~2 seconds, without relying on BIOS/UEFI Fast Boot tricks. • Only essential services load at startup—no unnecessary background tasks. • Hardware performance (SSD, NVMe, modern CPUs) fully utilized. Clean UX/UI • A consistent environment—no more mixing old Control Panels with new Settings. • A Start menu that blends the practicality of Windows 7/8.1 with modern features (search, pinned apps, AI suggestions). • Minimal animations—snappy response first, eye candy second. • Tablet mode as an option, not a forced default. AI—integrated but safe • Copilot and other AI features run in a sandboxed environment, isolated from the OS core. • Prevents viruses or manipulation from spreading through AI processes. • AI acts as a helpful assistant, not a system bottleneck. Graphics and DirectX • Optimized DirectX API with less overhead and better GPU utilization. • Reduced UI animations to free resources for apps and games. • Flexibility for developers to leverage DirectX 12 or Vulkan where appropriate. Stability and Security • System apps sandboxed—one crash should never bring down the OS. • Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) enabled by default, but optimized to avoid performance loss. • Modular updates—fix or update parts of the OS without requiring a full reboot. Summary Project Diamond envisions Windows 12 as the system Windows 8 was meant to be: • Fast ⚡ • Clean 🧼 • Modern 🌐 • Stable 🛡️ A true rebirth of Windows speed and clarity—this time without the mistakes of the past.

Cannot choose unenroll this device...
I joined insider before, but got stuck when getting back to GA builds.It continuely push 25H2 to me, then failed with error 0x8007042B. I rejoined the insider, the 25H2 prompt disapperes, but when I choose unenroll this device in next version,I notice that there is a 'get started' button in insider UI after system rebooting.
