Windows: This HIDDEN driver speeds up your disk
Windows 11 may already include an NVMe driver capable of improving your computer's disk performance. In this video, I explain the changes in SSD management, why Microsoft introduced this driver, and how to check if your PC can benefit from it.
As an IT technician, I analyze a little-known new feature in the latest builds of Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025: a new NVMe driver designed to more directly manage modern SSDs. This approach can reduce read latency, reduce CPU load, and make the system more responsive in everyday tasks.
Let's take a look at how this technology works, why Microsoft hasn't automatically enabled it on all computers, and when it can significantly improve disk performance. We also discuss hardware compatibility, NVMe controllers, and possible differences between various SSD models.
The video provides a clear and accessible technical overview, even for non-experts: we analyze how Windows manages storage, how to verify results with benchmark tools, and what precautions to take before changing system settings, such as performing a preventive backup.
