That’s actually a useful addition. We’ve been able to monitor CPU, GPU, and RAM usage for years, so it makes sense to include NPU stats now that more AI-powered PCs are hitting the market.
Just noticed that Microsoft’s June Windows 11 update adds NPU monitoring to Task Manager for AI PCs. Looks like users can now see how much their Neural Processing Unit is being used.
Hopefully Microsoft releases a fix quickly. Windows 11 has been getting a lot of performance improvements lately, so it would be nice if updates were a bit more reliable too.
From what I’ve seen, the issue doesn’t affect every PC. It seems to be limited to certain hardware and configurations, but it’s still something users should be aware of.
Same here. My laptop updated without any issues, but seeing these reports makes me glad I keep backups of my important files just in case.
That’s why I always wait a week or two before installing major Windows updates. It gives Microsoft time to identify and fix any widespread problems.
Yeah, I read about it. Some users are saying their PCs started asking for the BitLocker recovery key after installing the update, while others experienced boot issues.
Has anyone else seen reports about a recent Windows 11 update causing boot problems and BitLocker recovery screens? Sounds pretty frustrating.
your external drive appears in File Explorer but won’t open or shows an error message. Have you encountered this issue before? Share the cause and solution that worked for you.
I had a similar issue after connecting my USB to a public computer. The drive showed 0 bytes, but recovery software found most of my files.
Improper removal can sometimes corrupt the file system while leaving the data intact. Before formatting the drive, check if it’s visible in Disk Management and consider creating a backup image of the USB before attempting recovery.
My 64GB USB suddenly started showing 0 bytes after I removed it without ejecting. Windows detects the drive, but I can’t access any files. Has anyone recovered data from a drive in this condition?
have you ever connected a USB flash drive only to discover that it shows 0 bytes used, 0 bytes free, or appears completely empty, even though it previously contained important files?
This issue can occur due to file system corruption, virus attacks, improper ejection, bad sectors, or partition errors. In many cases, your data may still be recoverable.
If Microsoft released another update tomorrow, would you install it immediately or wait a few weeks? I’m curious how many people prefer being early adopters versus playing it safe.
These replies feel natural in a forum discussion and encourage other members to jump in with their own experiences.
I have a Copilot+ PC, and I’ve been curious about how often AI features actually use the NPU. This should make it much easier to see what’s happening behind the scenes
