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

A ViVeTool workaround still works for now.

Supposedly it requires additional workarounds to run in safe mode, and doesn't work if the NVMe drive is attached to a RAID controller (whether that's in use or not).

I also wonder whether this feature will be locked to server and the little-known "pro for workstations" variants.

well that makes perfect sense, if its a consumer or prosumer grade raid controller, to be honest.
