Server 2025 I get NPU in Task Manager and other good power settings. Windows 11 24H2 I do not. Using same drivers/chipset. Both have the same 'kernel' number 26100.1742. Please confirm that Windows 11 24h2 does support NPU in task manager and does support advanced power setting.

    Hello

    I found some information regarding your query about Windows 11 24H2 and its support for NPU in Task Manager and advanced power settings.

    According to Tom's Hardware, AMD has confirmed that system monitoring of its XDNA Neural Processing Units (NPUs) is coming to Windows Task Manager through Microsoft's Computer Driver Model. Currently, Windows 11 can only monitor the NPU units in Intel's new Core Ultra Meteor Lake CPUs, but this will change with updates expected to be integrated with Windows 11 24H2.

    For advanced power settings, there are various tutorials and resources available on how to access and adjust these settings in Windows 11. These include options to change power modes, screen and sleep settings, and more.

    It seems that while the support for NPU in Task Manager is expected to be included in Windows 11 24H2, it might not be fully implemented yet. Similarly, advanced power settings should be accessible, but there might be specific configurations or updates required.
