[Hardware] You can now get the Xbox Ally X's best new feature on all Windows gaming handhelds

[么 ANGRRY]

While the Xbox Ally X didn't overly impress with its Xbox-like console experience, one of the neat features of Asus and Microsoft's handheld collaboration was the debut of a new reduced-feature version of Windows, called the Xbox Full Screen Experience, or FSE. This interface made for an easier way to navigate Windows using a touchscreen and D-pad while also reducing the memory footprint of the OS and, in turn, improving performance. Originally exclusive to the Xbox Ally X, FSE has steadily been rolling out to other devices, and now Microsoft has made it available to all existing Windows gaming handhelds.

That means that if you're the owner of an original ROG Ally X, a Lenovo Legion Go, or an MSI Claw 2, to name just a few of the best gaming handhelds around, you can now try Microsoft's FSE experience, potentially unlocking a little boost in performance as well as gaining a more streamlined way to navigate Windows.

What FSE does is replace the standard Windows desktop experience with a version that doesn't load the desktop and reduces the number of background tasks, too. This frees up 2GB of space in memory, allowing for more space for games and other apps to run - a factor that's particularly important because the GPU also uses this memory rather than having dedicated VRAM.
