Storage driver for windows

[Cecil]

I just did a windows server 2016 install and used SCSI as the storage type (as per video instruction somewhere here)

Everything seems to be working well but windows has no details on the storage performance, in task manager the storage tab is completely absent.
Is there a way for windows to show disk usage and so on for troubleshooting performance issues?

Do you have a storage performance tab on real hardware? I've never used 2016, but on 2012 I'v never seen the storage performance in task manager either, only on non-scsi or non-raid disks.

You're right sorry.
I assumed server 2016 would have it there but I just checked my physical 2012 machine with a raid controller and also shows nothing.

Hi Cecil!

I got the problem a long time ago and found a simple solution. Go to your command prompt enter

diskperf -Y

and restart your task manager. Ta da, hope it helps and winserver is kinda weird.

That works like a charm! Thanks so much.
