In Windows 11 Insider Dev Build 23419 there are quite a lot of new things introduced, of course some of them have been introduced in Insider Dev since Build 25276 (before the Canary Channel was introduced), one of which was the ability to create live kernels memory dumps in Task Manager, apart from that there is also the USB 4 Settings Page which was previously installed introduced on Insider canaries.

Okay, let’s discuss in more detail. For Live Kernel Memory Dump, this capability will allow users to retrieve diagnostic data if there is a problem with the system without having to wait for the BSOD to occur first.

Previously, usually when the system experienced a BSOD (Crash) / Blue Screen, the OS would automatically create one kernel memory dumps which will be useful for the advanced user see and analyze what problems are happening in their system, and with the presence of new capabilities in the Task Manager, users do not have to wait for a BSOD to create kernel memory dumps.

As shown above, this new option will be present in Task Manager > Details > then on one of the processes, you can right click and there will be an option (Create live kernel memory dump file) there, and of course users can also set options for Live Kernel Memory Dump in the Task Manager Settings page.

Now secondly, on the Settings page there is now a special USB 4 page available where with this new page, users can find out more detailed information about connected USB 4 devices.

Regarding these new capabilities and options, please note that these new options will only be available to systems that already have support for USB 4, so if your device does not have USB 4 support, this page will not appear. To see if your system supports USB4, you can open Device Manager and make sure that there is already a USB4 host router as shown in the following image.
