About this tag
The nvmedisk tag covers discussions about Microsoft's native NVMe storage driver, nvmedisk.sys, which shipped in Windows 11 25H2 and Windows Server 2025. Topics include performance gains from the native driver, manual registry tweaks to enable it, and compatibility risks such as boot failure. The tag also compares the supported opt-in on Server 2025 versus the riskier community-discovered overrides on Windows 11. Users share real-world throughput and IOPS improvements, but emphasize that this is an advanced optimization requiring backups and hardware compatibility checks.
Microsoft quietly shipped a native NVMe storage driver in Windows 11 25H2 that can unlock measurable real‑world performance gains for many NVMe SSDs — but unlocking it requires a manual registry tweak, carries compatibility hazards, and should be treated as an advanced, backup‑first optimization...
Microsoft has quietly shipped a new, native NVMe disk driver — nvmedisk.sys — in the Windows servicing stream, and early tests show real-world throughput and IOPS gains on some SSDs, but the fastest path today requires either using Microsoft’s supported opt‑in on Windows Server 2025 or applying...
