    @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.

    I wouldn't worry about it. The test results I've seen from other people testing this out shows virtually no change in performance. I would also give MS some time to tweak the drivers anyways.

    I ran this on my HPE server. Got one of my storage controllers to show solidnvm

    Code:
    reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\stornvme\Parameters\Device" /v "ForcedPhysicalSectorSizeInBytes

    It is not recommended to activate these 1853569164 and 156965516 Insider Preview experimental IDs on a general OS build 26100/26200. which could introduce some potential bugs.

    So I'm going to wait I don't know how many months for Microsoft to enable the feature to use native NVMe?

    Yes. Because the general OS build requires the activation of the experimental feature ID for NVME functionality to be available.

    No. Boot time is same.

    I wanted to test it on an 11 Pro, and with these 4 registry keys and a reboot, it's still the stornvme.sys (controller) and disk.inf (disk) drivers for a 990 Pro

    Code:
    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
    @Fernando 1 Which key did you add ?

    EDIT: Also need to enable the "policy" as indicated in the link.
    Oh well, never mind, I'll look at it later.

    Warnning: 156965516 and 1853569164 is Insider Preview experimental IDs. Activating these two IDs in general OS build 26100/26200 will enable some experimental features. which could introduce some potential bugs. We do not recommend enabling native NVMe support in general OS build 26100/26200. this feature is experimental in the consumer version of the system and contains many bugs. You need to understand the risks involved in enabling experimental features.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    # Undo - Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\14 Registry Key and restore default values.
    # You will need to open CMD as administrator. Type the following command in CMD to Undo:
    # REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\14" /f
