Superfetch is a service in Windows that decreases boot time and makes programs load faster by identifying your behavior on the computer and adapting the computer to run certain apps faster. For most people, this is a good thing as it makes the computer feel faster and run smoother. However, for a few people, this causes problems, such as high disk usage from the system and compressed memory. If this is the case for you, then you can disable Superfetch.
To disable Superfetch, you need to click the Windows key and R, then type “services.msc” and run it. From there, you can find Superfetch by clicking on S and then right-clicking on Superfetch and clicking on Properties. Click on Stop to stop Superfetch once, and then select Disabled from the Startup Type. Click on Apply and then OK to disable Superfetch permanently.
After disabling Superfetch, it is recommended that you restart your computer to see the effects. If you notice that your computer is slower, you can go back and enable Superfetch by reversing the steps above.
Overall, disabling Superfetch on Windows 8 is a simple process, and it can help fix issues related to high disk usage from the system and compressed memory. Just make sure to restart your computer after disabling Superfetch to see the effects.
