npu visibility

About this tag
The npu visibility tag covers discussions about how Windows 11 and related hardware drivers expose neural processing unit (NPU) information to users and system tools. Topics include Task Manager columns for NPU metrics, NPU Engine, NPU memory, and isolation status in Dev build 26300.8142, as well as AMD Ryzen chipset driver 6.07.22.037 adding NPU recognition for Ryzen AI 300 processors. Release Preview builds 26100.8514 and 26200.8514 also include NPU visibility improvements. These updates help Copilot+ PC owners monitor AI acceleration usage and make NPUs a first-class system component alongside CPU and GPU.
