I agree with you I have disable my superfetch and it boost up my bootup speed and not getting any high disk usages

Been playing Diablo2 Ressurected lately and just found out about readyboost. Got a flash drive and have been given it a try and atleast in this it seems to help my load times and lag a noticeable amount. My laptops not the best which could have something to do with it. But for me this seems like it could be amazing for the games that run my laptop into the ground. Hopefully it helps my other games.

Yeah got to keep it turned off on my end. The high disk usage was causing multiple games to crash/run poorly. What's weird to me though, is that right after booting sysmain would often barely make a blip in disc usage, but after running a game fullscreen for like 30 mins, it would turn on and just eat disk usage.

TY so much for the tuto bro you are the goat

You should try using the PCIe Intel Turbo memory module as ready boost. I just ordered one for an old laptop just by the sake of it, since it has two mini pcie ports.

thnx for the knowledge sire!

My boot drive is a NMVe Gen4 M.2 so I have no problem with slow loads or high disk usage.

In that case SysMain is a pointless service for you. In fact Windows automatically stops prefetching when an SSD is detected so the service isn't doing anything.

I'm probably using ReadyBoost wrong, but Installing programs directly on ReadyBoost makes them start up really fast on my laptop

What about games? Does Sysmain helps to run faster in second time? Or when your game is over, does it help to run level faster? Has level loaded from RAM or from disk in case 1) using Sysmain and 2) not using? Or it will run faster (I mean from RAM) without Sysmain?

For competive gaming and editing is this going to help fps?

I wish people would test this with a USB that is actually a decent speed. Using the SanDisk extreme pro results in ssd-like speeds when launching programs with ready post.

Oddly enough, despite using an NVME drive as my main, superfetch is still caching apps from both it and a secondary SSD on my end. I have most of my games on a secondary HDD though, so I'm not sure if it's worth leaving enabled or not.

I would disable it if your using an SSD.

With a SSD drive, "system main" should not be needed. Because app launches are very quick with a SSD. I have found that SSD's are lightening fast with Windows 10. Ready Boost interfaces though a relatively slow 2.0 USB port. Also flash drives are made for file storage and are not a substitute for computer RAM that is much faster.

Mine is staying at 100 percent after turning it on and leaving it sit for 2 days. It always says 100 percent or mid 90s. I need to try this. Its so slow it wont even open the windows tab when I click the icon. Its a decent computer though this drives me crazy and I'm not really tech savvy enough to figure out what the problem is.

What is the quality of the flash drive that you were using? Their speeds will vary wildly, depending on the model. Even if it is version 3.0, it could have write speeds of 5MB/s and read speeds of, perhaps, 50MB/s. Whereas, if you used, for example, a Samsung T5, it would have read and write speeds between 350MB/s to 450MB/s. To really know whether or not Superfetch is a viable tool, it should not be discounted due to a slow flash drive. It should be validated with a flash drive that is capable of not being a bottleneck. Perhaps you were using a fast flash drive. But you did not specify which flash drive you used, and I could not identify it from when you held it up in your video.

@CyberCPU

The system I did the test on only supports USB 2.0. so it has limited read and write speeds. The USB drive used was an 8Gb SanDisk Cruzer USB 2.0 drive. I believe they are typically around 20mb/s. Windows actually does a speed test on the drive when enabling readyboost to determine if the drive will be provide a benefit. Some slower drives will not work because they fail the speed test. The theoretical limit for USB 2.0 is about 60Mb/s but it's not likely you will every see that in a flash drive due to limitations in nand. However, I don't believe the speed of the drive would invalidate the test because my goal was to limit the io on the hard drive by using the USB drive. Since mechanical hard drives suffer from the 100% disk usage problem with SysMain enabled the purpose of the test was to move the prefetch off the mechanical drive to the USB drive in hopes that it would lower hard drive usage. At least the brief 100% usage at boot up.

I liked your video much, but my main reason for using a USB drive operating in a Ready Boost mode ist that I'm using das USB drive as extra Physical Memory RAM...Not to Prefetch. I've Benchmark many times using my USB drive as extra Physical Memory RAM und it ist 5 times faster than accessing your Paging (Swap) file Virtual Memory when your system has need for extra RAM in high-animation environment online gaming it ist working great for me in this way. Das USB drive used in this way does not speed up my program loading times, but that ist not what I'm using it for anyway. You must have das Ready Boost enabled to use your USB drive as extra Physical Memory RAM even if das USB drive ist not used to actually Prefetch data. If you wish you can also use your USB drive for both at das same time...a partial allocated Physical Memory RAM, und extra hard-drive space if you do not Dedicate all of your USB drive to Ready Boost RAM only. Honestly, I haven't any problem with a program loading in 1 or 2 or a few seconds slower anyway using Prefetch mode...Simply not that important to me...That ist only two blinks of your eyes. :-) I like your videos though...They can be very helpful to many people I believe. :-) Have a fun day.

Flash drive speed, size, port used (2, 3, 3.1), speed of your ram, and if you use an hdd or ssd all matter. But the real usb speed is even more nasty.. i learned this from testing. An old pc had mega slow usb2 speeds with an usb2 stick. But had competent speeds in usb2 with a usb3 stick. Ergo, we wanna see how much better a potato drive pc would do vs let's say a good pc. Gonna test it myself soon.

I saw your first video and was wondering why you said nothing about boot time, as Superfetch is an important part of making FastBoot work. So I also watched this, and still, you say nothing. After the first video, I was very hopeful that your advice to turn off Superfetch would solve one of the biggest problems with Windows 10, that boot time can be much slower than on Windows 8.1. With a spinning disk on an older laptop, it's typically 1.5x or more longer. I have seen over 5x longer on an old netbook. SSD and a fast CPU doesn't solve the problem but only cover the problem so it is less visible. But there is something seriously wrong with Windows 10's way of doing it because SSD has much less impact on Windows 10 than it should have and W8.1 might boot about as fast on a spinning disk as Windows 10 on an SSD. On the netbook, it was much faster on Windows 8.1 and HD (raw boot time without BIOS post about 10 s) than on Windows 10 and SSD (about 40s, 50s on HD). Windows 10's boot seems very CPU dependent, while previous Windows seems to be independent on CPU, apart from the fact that the CPU must be fast enough to handle the data the disk feeds it. I see no reason why Windows 10 should be so much slower and less responsive than Windows 8.1 as they load about the same amount of data on boot. Solve this and I will be very pleased! Disabling Superfetch/SysMain reduced disk activity but boot times was doubled from about 30s to about one minute. That is very important when I need to start up my machine fast... So I leave Superfetch/SysMain on. The machine needs to be started/stopped (not restarted) 3-4 times to optimize FastBoot. ReadyBoost was developed in a time when disks were much slower than they have become, and machines typically also had much less memory and weaker CPU. On these machines, a thumb drive with ReadyBoost might help. But unless it is a reasonably fast thumb drive, it will be so much slower than the hard drive that even if the thumb drive has close to zero access time, it will be outperformed by the much higher transfer rate of the hard drive, especially on newer machines. Speaking of ReadyBoost without addressing this is trying to solve a problem without understanding it properly first and how the solution shall fix it. Generally, most dual-core CPUs handle many users requirements with office, light web usage and 1080p video just fine, especially as HD acceleration of those tasks have matured. An older machine with a clean Windows installation is often faster than a much newer machine with a bloated installation. It's sad that Microsoft seems to ignore this and aim for ditching hundreds of millions of usable machines in just a few years. Think about the security disaster that might come from people continuing to use older Windows without any updates? I think it's very rude, perhaps also criminal, to expect people to buy new machines because MS has decided we need to, resulting in a lot of fully workable machines being thrown away if we follow their will. Many people can not afford this, they are happy to own an old machine!

In my testing I saw no difference in boot times between superfetch turned on or off. Windows fast boot uses hibernation to help speed up boot times. It doesn't use the prefetch files that superfetch builds. The way fast boot works is it hibernates most of the important system files so that when the system boots up it's actually coming back from a partial hibernation. Superfetch should have no effect on fastboot.

@@CyberCPU So, Windows 'suffers' from its own success. The less times you reboot between patch days, the worse your readyboot/superfetch effectiveness. You can repair it somewhat using defrag /B, or if you have the ADK installed, Xbootmgr -prepsystem will iterate on the boot loader area and make the hit ration much higher. Also a tip, defrag doesn't defrag any file larger than 64mb, which proves a market for diskkeeper, or defraggler (my favorite). Now this is all spinning media stuff right. SSD, windows knows to disable the parts of sysmain that aren't needed on an SSD (technically any drive that reports a 0 RPM I think is the code) because seek times are so damn low anyway. You're talking microseconds of benefit, so why keep it running? But windows knows not to do that to SSDs (so it doesnt burn out the media either, if you recall a while back that was an issue, I think in the 7-8 timeframe. I wrote a blog post even on what to turn off on XP when you had an SSD (lol xp) I need to watch the first video you posted, '100% disk usage' because if its sysmain, it shouldnt be doing it often. There was a horrible bug in 7 that if the regsz blob for readyboot exceeded a certain size, (or the system had 999+ restore points, unlikely), then readyboot would always fail. But that was years ago. I have to say I appreciate you asking for others opinions, I should edit my original post to not sound like a dick as much. :)
