Windows Update Boosts NVMe Performance by 80%

Microsoft has introduced native NVMe support improvements that can significantly enhance PC performance. Initially released in the KB5066835 update for Windows Server 2025, this feature is also compatible with standard Windows 11 installations.

Key Benefits

The update optimizes how the operating system handles data, resulting in:

  • 80% increase in access speeds for small, fragmented files (common in gaming and video editing).
  • 45% reduction in CPU usage during storage-intensive tasks.

How to Enable It

The feature is not active by default and requires manual activation. Users looking to unlock these performance gains must use specific terminal commands (available through technical community documentation like TabNews) to enable the new native driver support.

This optimization is particularly beneficial for professionals and gamers who rely on high-speed SSD performance for complex workloads.
