Have you connected pendrive and tried to use Ready Boost, to
increase its performance. And it says
that " This device cannot be
used for ReadyBoost. "
Well, it's a simple problem, try using the steps below :
1. Type Services, in Start. Right click on it and start it
as " Run as Administrator ".
2. Locate the file Superfetch, click on " Properties
".
3. Under General, Check
the Service Status : " Stopped ".
Make sure you set up Startup type : " Automatic " and click on
" start "
A pop up box opens, which normally take 20 sec to complete.
That's it press okay once the service status is " started ".
Now Right click on pen drive or memory card, go to "properties" and click on " Ready Boost "
Tick the Option " USE this device" and check how much MB does windows recommend for Optimal performance. " IF you are using a 8Gb stick then dedicate 4Gb to it."
Once you are done with the procedure, you will find a file named "Ready Boost" in your pendrive.
That's it. Thanks for reading the post. If you are still facing problem, then click on this link to read the post : Readyboost Not Working

I fail to understand why people insist on changing the names of things? Why does the readyboost tab call it "sysmain" when there is no such service, its called Superfetch. I am a software engineer myself and have argued this point time and time again with the leads. They use whatever nerdy name pops into their heads to refer to something, even using the invented shorthand name in emails. Its dumb people! Pick a name and stick with it! How would anybody ever figure this out (sysmain=superfetch) or is in intuitively obvious to everyone except me.
ReplyDeleteI should have thanked the author, R . Venkat Krishna for writing this... thank you!
DeleteIs it able to do on a 465GB
ReplyDeleteI feel slow, since im using an SSD after i turned on sysmain it now says the system disk is fast enough readyboost wont provide any additional benefit. XD
ReplyDeleteNice post
