The new build 2026.08138.ge_release_svc betafit-prod.26035-0357 no longer has the NPU status in Task Manager. It was there in the previous build.

    I found the issue. When I upgraded to Build 1838, the driver for Intel AI Boost was not supported. I had the 32.0.100.4512 version loaded. It was disabled due to cache issue. I upgraded to 32.0.100.4723 and now have a working NPU. Problem is resolved. This machine has an i9 Ultra 285K
