Windows 11 will show more Disk details in the Task Manager

The Task Manager in Windows is being enhanced to provide more detailed information about available disks, including the Bus type (e.g., NVMe or SATA). A feature currently being tested in Insider Beta build 22635.4225 will allow users to see disk types labeled next to each disk, such as SSD (NVMe). This improvement contrasts with the current version, which only identifies disks as SSDs without specifying the type. Additionally, there is a request for Microsoft to include temperature readings for disks and CPUs in the Task Manager, as this information is currently not available and requires users to access it through the Settings app or third-party applications.

Windows 11 Task Manager to bring greater transparency about your disk

Microsoft is enhancing the Windows 11 Task Manager to display disk type labels, allowing users to easily identify whether their drives are NVMe SSDs or SATA SSDs. Currently, this information is difficult to access, requiring multiple steps in the Settings app. The new feature aims to streamline this process and improve user experience. Users can enable the feature now by registering with the Windows Insider Beta channel and installing Beta build 22635.4225, although it is still in testing and may not function consistently.
