Hello Maigret
Please note: I started the SuperFetch — to test — as indicated. It seems to speed up a little various things but...
There’s one, but there’s one! Since I did this my USB flash drive functioning in ReadyBoost — always following your advice — no longer accept the ReadyBoost in question..
Apparently things are connected!
@Lion77 : that’s right these two tools work together. So you need to reactivate Superfetch.
Yes, yes. That said I'm not convinced that the ReadyBosst really won me something.
@Lion77 : personally, I have never seen the difference but there must be situations with particular configurations that make a difference exist.
