some settings should not be turned off, superfetch, prefetching

 

[koroshiya8]

seems like most setting is already done automatically when i check..

 

[jtjt00]

For page file, disable only if your rig has 8gb or more ram. Else certain apps will pop out message complaining low memory.

you're joking right ?
you do know that superfetch and prefect are tailored for HDD...

 

[micheloving]

Or just download a utility that optimize your settings like magician utility ,etc.

Save time , save lives .

Never disable paging file , the troubles of disabling it out weights all the puny benefits it can barely give.

Actually I don't suggest touchcing the page file all. Turning off page file is a source of game crashes and gaming related bsod.

 

[ragnarok95]

This is an old guide but nevertheless still useful.

Agreed, some apps/games got issue with no page file. Users do need to monitor when implement the tweaks.

 

[ecoadjutor]

I disable the paging file so far no issue.

Disable GUI on boot
open run line (window + r)
type msconfig and enter
select "Boot" tab
uncheck "No GUI boot"

So do I check or uncheck "No GUI boot"? Cause your header's Disable GUI on boot.

And I can't seem to find "PrefetchParameters"

 

[SHIKSHINISM!♥'24']

Oh, btw I encountered this. So how ah? Its only for HDDs ah? Sorry, newb here.

up to you if you want to follow intel or MS...

Disable SuperFetch

SuperFetch and prefetch are storage management technologies in Windows that provide a fast-track access to data on traditional, slower hard drives. This really clever services provide only for unnecessary writes on SSD drives. Typically, Windows 7 automatically disables these services for your SSD disk. Otherwise disable it manually.

Edit: OHHHH, I did a google and found out what it does. Oh gosh, time to sleep. I damn gundu.
