News Microsoft is switching RAM speed units in Task Manager — finally moving to the more technically correct MT/s

[Admin]

Windows 11 begins transitioning away from MHz and to MT/s when listing RAM speeds in Task Manager, with beta builds available through Windows Insider already reflecting the change.

If you're champing at the bit for the change but don't want to take on the risks of Windows Beta releases, you'll need to wait a little longer for the change to propagate to non-Insider builds.

Why wait ? Just give this a try. Warning, as this might sometimes cause a bit of instability.

Download ViVeTool and extract it to any folder of your choice. https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe

Open the elevated command prompt, type this command and press ENTER key (make sure the path is changed to the extracted folder):

vivetool /enable /id:38476224,48380607

Might wanna reboot your Win 11 OS, if the Task Manager is not displaying MT/s.

Microsoft is beginning to roll out a change to how Task Manager reports RAM speeds, updating its units from MHz to MT/s (mega transfers per second) This is in line with industry moves away from using MHz for measuring DDR speeds, as the actual clock frequencies are much lower than the effective speeds.

It's more like MT/s represents millions of data transfers per second, and rather than focusing on state changes; it represents manipulation happening on both clock edges in DDR memory.

This is stupid. Who cares what says... Microsoft need to resolve all bugs windows 11 have.

Well... it only took them +20 years give or take to put the right unit there, no rush.

Also @Amdlova, not sure Microsoft care too much about Win 11 bugs, as long as they still sell that piece of crap (this is my personal opinion) on new machines. After all Windows 12 should be coming later this year or early 2025.
I wonder how many new requirements will that new OS have.... guess time will tell, maybe it will require a new AI ready CPU, motherboard, ram and gpu?

users are returning to 10 en masse, perhaps in response to the propagation of ads across the Windows 11 OS (which are thankfully easily removable).

I was about to say "Holy crap, a TomsHardware (freelance) writer actually spoke the truth!", but then the link is to a downloadable program that turns off Start menu ads and not the setting which has existed from the start to disable Start menu recommendations (ads).

Wooow. Windows updates really look like there is a guy working a couple of hours a month on it...

Like the file properties window still using the Windows XP UI, when can we get an update ?
Also, an update for the UI of regedit.exe, run.exe, disk management tool, file explorer options, etc....

This OS is a trashcan made of totally heterogeneous code, it's incredible!!

Task Manager is a joke. If you are relying on it to determine how much CPU usage that an application is using you'll be 100% wrong. Microsoft knows that they broke Task Manager and their response was, "So what?" No one of importance would use that tool but use the resource monitor instead."
