Windows 11 Introduces Proactive Memory Diagnostics
Microsoft has introduced a new diagnostic feature in Windows 11, called Proactive Memory Diagnostics, aimed at detecting RAM-related crashes.
This feature is activated after an unexpected BSOD, prompting the user to schedule a memory scan to identify the root cause of the crash.
The diagnostic session, which lasts around five minutes, checks for instabilities and errors using a built-in tool, notifying the user if any issues are detected.
Microsoft strives to make Windows 11 a fast and stable OS, and this new feature can't hurt that goal.
- The feature is available in the latest Windows 11 Insider preview build 26220.6982 (KB5067109).
- Proactive Memory Diagnostics runs during the next reboot after a crash or BSOD.
