Hello,

How can I disable "Prefetch" on Windows 7?

I'm not talking about Superfetch but Prefetch.

Thanks

If you need to ask, you probably shouldn't, but according to Microsoft:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters

Name: EnablePrefetcher

Type: REG_DWORD

Value: 0

And if you do not know what to do with this, you really shouldn't, install more memory instead.

      No, it doesn't, but I'm sure you don't just mean compile when you say compile.

      Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator. And there are many cases where performance is worse or BETTER under Proton, it really depends on the game in question.

      Give me an example of Microsoft "don't like something from you" so "you simply get locked down"? I am all for government using Linux and open source software but no need to make stuff up.
