  • PCWorld reports that a Windows 11 update has disabled a popular registry tweak that boosted NVMe SSD performance by 80% IOPS.
  • The tweak exploited a native NVMe driver from Windows Server 2025, which Microsoft likely blocked due to compatibility issues with tools like Samsung Magician and BitLocker.
  • Users seeking faster storage performance amid rising component costs now hope Microsoft will officially integrate the native driver into future Windows 11 updates.

Other sources online -- including Rafael Rivera -- have observed that ViveTool still works for this tweak, but the ID's have changed. Here's a link to a recent Tom's Hardware story that explains remaining workarounds.

Many users don't realize that Vivetool or a matching reg update will do the same job.

It's all magic, because they don't understand the obfuscation function that converts a Feature ID to an Overrides number. Fortunately Rafael Rivera provides that in his source code for ViveTool.

Tom's Hardware suggests Feature ID's 60786016 & 48433719.

Here's the matching reg file:
Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8\1853569164]
"EnabledState"=dword:00000002
"EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\8\3244671118]
"EnabledState"=dword:00000002
"EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000000

ID 60786016 no longer exists on the most recent stable build of Windows 11.

Native NVMe.webp

Here's the (Google translated from German to English) article from deskmodder.de that explains how you can still get native NVMe to work after Microsoft blocked the original hack but I seriously doubt that it still works now that ID 60786016 is gone.

Windows 11 auch mit nativer NVMe-Unterstützung [Update: Nachtrag]

(Original 18.12.2025): Vor ein paar Tagen hatten wir darüber berichtet, dass Windows Server 2025 eine native NVMe Unterstützung für eine bessere Leistung erhält. Microsoft selber hat dafür auch den dazugehörigen Registry-Schlüssel geliefert, der dies aktiviert. Aber auch unter Windows 11…

In the Search box,type in ---dxdiag ---and then in the Systems page,uncheck ---WHQL---which then allows you to download any driver.
When the box is checked,you can only download Microsoft approved drivers.

phantomofearth confirmed on March 24, you need 60786016 & 48433719.

If you have an unconfigured Feature ID, then you always get the "No configuration error".
Code:
