Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 Insider preview may feel light, but Task Manager is getting a useful upgrade.
If your PC supports AI hardware, you’ll soon be able to see exactly which apps are using the Neural Processing Unit (NPU).
New columns let you track NPU usage, memory, and even the specific engine being used.
This makes it easier to understand how AI-powered apps are running on your system. You can also spot apps running in a sandboxed mode through a new “Isolation” column.
These features are optional and only show up on supported hardware. Still, it’s a small but meaningful step as Windows leans more into on-device AI.
