Microsoft blocks registry trick that unlocked performance-boosting native NVMe driver on Windows 11 — workarounds still exist to enable support, however

Microsoft has disabled a registry modification that allowed Windows 11 users to activate native NVMe support. This change was noted in the latest Insider builds of Windows 11. The registry trick had previously improved random write performance by up to 85% and enhanced random I/O across various drives and CPUs. However, it caused compatibility issues with third-party SSD management tools and could trigger recovery prompts from BitLocker. Users can still enable native NVMe support using a third-party utility called ViVeTool, which requires an elevated command prompt and a system reboot. The timeline for official native NVMe support in Windows 11 versions 25H2 and 26H2 is uncertain.

Mega Crit responds to the panic over Slay the Spire 2’s 1st balance pass, saying these changes are ‘the first of many’: ‘No change is necessarily permanent’

Slay the Spire 2 has experienced financial success and positive player feedback, but recent balance changes led to negative reviews on Steam.
