Well should make no difference for those of us who have always used maximum performance in our plans anyways. 

I used Maximum performance also ( Process lasso - Bitsum highest performance ) but with Game Mode ON i earned more fps.

Do you guys know there's Ultimate Performance power plan? It also fixes clock issues with "lots-of-cores" CPUs on some systems

Yes, that is what I use.

Does this only apply to 21H1 version?

Don’t want to derail the topic, but as a non Windows user (aside from MSFS) and not being familiar with their update processes, does this mean that not all e.g. Windows 10 Home versions are the same? I.e. if I bought Win 10 Home edition two years ago, as opposed to buying it this year would I not be entitled to run the same version as a newer purchaser?

I believe win 10 pro has more power profiles than win 10 home. Not if that has changed over the years.

Ok cheers. So I’ve seen a lot of people mention eg the 21H1 update and then hint that they don’t update. Are there “good” reasons not to do so?

Very honestly, no reason.
Win 10 is today a very stable OS and most of the updates are flawless.

If you buy Windows 10, any version, you will get updates now and then to keep it up to speed. You're not stuck with the one you bought.

Agree with sentiments above.  No reason.

I'm on 21H1 and I've got the latest "Patch Tuesday" update from Microsoft fixing the Game mode issue (not that I particularly noticed I was afflicted TBH).  Also running with latest NVidia Game Ready drivers.

All is good. I fly the FBW A320 mostly and running happily with that in the environment I've described.

These various windows updates have mostly fixed and improved things, at least for me. They have broken something once too, but I managed to get around it. All in all there are mostly positives to updating Windows, in my humble opinion.

I haven't experienced any improvement in fps, but I've noticed the difference between having game mode on, and HAGS on, compared to having them both off, is getting smaller. I used to see a very big drop in performance with either turned on.

No. All Windows 10 devices get the same updates. The difference is what features are included in a given version (example: Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc).

Need more time to test, but the anecdotal first pass after the cumulative update is that MSFS performance is better.

I updated my nVidia drivers to the latest WHQL that just dropped, after testing the OS update, and they work well too.
