The goal is to surface the built‑in memory check automatically for users who might not know the tool exists.

Overview

  • The new notification appears after Windows 11 recovers from a crash and offers to launch Windows Memory Diagnostics.
  • Users can dismiss the prompt, and choosing a full scan reboots the PC and typically takes about five minutes before Windows loads.
  • The prompt will not show on ARM-based devices, systems using BitLocker without Secure Boot, or PCs with Administrator Protection enabled.
  • Microsoft is flighting the feature in the Windows Insider Program under build KB5067109, with reporting noting availability in the Dev Channel (build 26220.6982).
  • The same test build adds a searchable clipboard history box, a voice-typing delay option, Settings device card tweaks, and new taskbar animations.
