Hi everyone,

could anyone of you please who has a clean install of Windows 8.1 on the SSD drive look at some settings of certain services (below)? Thank you.

Prefetch and Superfetch. In registry located on way HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\ Control\ SessionManager \MemoryManagement \PrefetchParameters. I am interested in EnablePrefetcher and EnableSuperfetch REG_DWORD value. Just a number in parentheses.

ReadyBoot. In registry located on way HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control \WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot. I am interested REG_DWORD value of Start. Just a number in parentheses.

Run dfrgui command. Go to Change settings and have a look if SSD on which is the system installed is included in regular optimalization schedule.

Registry can be accessed running regedit command.

Hi,

Prefetch and Superfetch means that most commonly used files are stored to disk to be more quickly accessed later.

For Prefetch:
Disable Caching: 0
Cache Applications Only: 1
Cache Boot Files Only: 2
Cache Everything (default): 3

For SuperFetch:Disable Caching: 0
Cache Boot Processed Only: 1
Cache Applications Only: 2
Cache Everything (default): 3

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\ReadyBoot\Start value means:

disable: 0

enable: 1

Hi, 

thank you for you answer. I have idea about meanings of registry settings values and I also know the link and the information described on the link page. 

Some people told me within last two days that exectly the same settings as mentioned on the link is the settings which has been automatically set by installation process of OS or OS itself for this case. Except ReadyBoot Start value. They told me that is set to 1 but on that link is written that it has to be set to 0. So maybe that is some inadvertency on that page.
