I reversed the driver for this yesterday, here's how to enable it on server OR client: \Overrides\1176759950 = id 59254307 (Servicing_NativeNVMe) ; either this (for server only) (officialy documented) or \Overrides\2525490830 = id 59274315 (NativeNVMeStackForGeServer*) ; this can enable it on server \Overrides\735209102 = id 55369237 (NativeNVMeStackForGeClient*) ; only this on client * requires these to also be enabled: \Overrides\1853569164 = id 48433719 (UxAccOptimization) \Overrides\156965516 = id 49453572 (Standalone_Future) FOR BR ONLY: \Overrides\1409234060 = id 48613417 (NativeNVMeStackEnableForClientOS) * requires these to also be enabled: \Overrides\1853569164 = id 48433719 (UxAccOptimization) \Overrides\156965516 = id 49453572 (Standalone_Future)
Launching these with Powershell as admin worked on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 (25H2) on my Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, but didn't work on my desktop PC (drivers didn't change there): reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 156965516 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 1853569164 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 1176759950 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 735209102 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
msft did not provide a way to 'see' if its enabled or not. user '600415' did not provide a source for their claim about 'nvmedisk' Edit: turns out, nvme drives now appear in their own section in device manager; 'NVMe disk drives', and indeed, nvmedisk.sys is the driver!
I have verified in Device Manager that, previously, the disks appeared under the category 'Disk Drives'. After enabling this option, they are now displayed as 'Storage Disks'.
Yep, that's how you verify it's working. Some SSDs like WD SN850X are not changing drivers tho and will stay with disk.inf Probably they are just not compatible with the new Native NVMe stack (yet)
I have never seen a Windows Device Manager with a category named "Storage Disks". If you should mean the category "Storage Controllers", that are no disk drives. Please post a screenshot of your Device Manager with expanded "Disk Drives" and "Storage Disks" categories.
I only enabled three reg keys on 25H2 and both my SN850X and SX8200 Pro are now showing under Storage disks and are using the new nvmedisk driver: Code: reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 1853569164 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 156965516 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 735209102 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
I used only this Code: reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 1176759950 /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f and it enabled my WD SN5000 under "Storage disks".
On the home standalone workstations, nvme is hardly the bottleneck in performance. Mickysoft is being dishonest, as usual, gaslighting it like some phenomenal breakthrough in underlying tech, which it isn't, at least not for a normal home user and they are a decade short. What they are selling as 80% enhanced performance matters on heavy server workloads running multiple hypervisors, loggings, SQL databases etc. A day late and a dollar short.
@P40L0 @javaspain I have to correct myself: After having done a view into the Device Manager of my freshly updated Win11 Edition, I have seen this: As you can see, the NVMe disk drive of my system (a 2 TB sized ACER SSD) is now listed within the new category "Storage Media" and not anymore within the "Disk Drives" category. These changes have been done by the newest Win11 feature "Native NVMe Support".
To find out the "performance boost" of the new MS Feature "Native NVMe Support", I have just done a fresh benchmark test with my GEEKOM A7 Mini-PC running Win11 Pro v26H1 on a 1TB ACER NVMe SSD. Here are the results: Here are the results I got 3 months ago with the same system running Win11 Pro v25H2 (without "native NVMe Support"):
@Fernando 1 Thanks for your tests. It's the same thing. Otherwise, did you notice any difference with the 26h1? Some people said it was a bit better (responsiveness, etc...) compared to the 25h2.
