Windows 11 task scheduler talks directly to the Thread Director, a microcontroller added added on gen 12+ CPUs, while Windows 10 scheduler was modified after release to account for them through collaboration with Intel.

According to both MS and Intel, thread scheduling on 10 is not as optimized as on Win 11.

According to benchmarks (typically games), performance is roughly the same. Most wins go to Windows 11, some to Windows 10, but within negligible ranges of difference to where it doesn't matter on either. That was reason enough to stick with Windows 10 on my 13600k i5 build still.
