Step 3 : In Startup section, you can choose Disabled from the drop-down menu. After that, click the Stop button under Service status field. Minutes later, the service stop process ends, you can click the Apply button and then OK button to save the change.
Now, you turn off Windows SuperFetch service. Then enter regedit and click the OK button. Step 2: When you open the Registry Editor, you can go to the following location:. Step 3: On the right side, choose EnableSuperfetch and double click it. Then, you can view the Value data is 3, which means the Superfetch is on. You can change the Value data to 0 to disable it.
In the end, click the OK button. I have yet to see as good performance from default settings, compared to when unnecessary features are turned off.
Boot time is not important to me, but with SSD these services possibly except pagefile are becoming more and more irrelevant, which was my gut feeling from the start. Good point. Actually, Windows 7 is designed to be optimized automatically with SSD. I have tried a bunch of things to speed it up and now have Super Fetch turned off. I am not seeing any slow down, or speed up at all. However, the annoying, and paranoia provoking, disk writing in the background is indeed gone.
That is very nice! In fact the only time I need to restart my system is after a full night of high speed downloads — aka disk writing. The only time I have trouble running programs is when Media Center is recording a TV show in the background again disk writing. The only programs that give me trouble in the background are disk intensive Evernote and Mediamonkey.
These should be simple directory renames but I can hear it moving the data — with Gb free this should not be needed. I had the same question longer boot time if superfetch is disabled? Any response from the author? One nasty thing I noticed with Superfetch from Vista is how it works with Bitorrent.
Do you need to spend lots of memory just for the case you might want to startup another application and save 5 seconds on this — but loose lots of ram for other apps? As always, windows developers tried to copy ideas from other systems, but failed to implement them in a sane way — ending up with a bloated system that needs even more ressources — this is a big problem for the whole planet, as we can not afford operatig systems that are eating actually more ressources than before, it should be the other way around!
For the sceptics: yes, our ressources are limited on this planet, this is a fact — that means all systems have to go to low ressource usage, not stupid ressource usage. How many nuclear plants, or CO2 spewing plants, are we going to dedicate to running Flash ads and other crap? I disabled superfetch, I feel almost no difference in boot time or application load time. However, latency has been improved, hence, application that requires low latency performs better, like gaming, foobar, asio etc.
Unless you are using SSD, you should not disable superfetch or prefetch. Why is that? In your opinion, if my computer is practically unusable with Superfetch undisabled, should I rather use a typewriter?
Or what would you suggest? Well, there could be other issues in your computer that makes it unstable. So Superfetch magically makes work disappear? MS have basically got this one fundamentally wrong. Second guessing and bringing in wast amounts of things that may never been used will likely push out things that are being used -at least the effect it seems to have on my oh so underpowered 4 core 8GB RAM machine.
