The readyboost tab is missing but is enabled in services.why?

Hi,

Device compatibility is one of the reasons why the ReadyBoost tab is missing. Kindly provide the following answers to the questions below to further isolate the issue:

• What is the make and model of the flash drive that you are using for ReadyBoost?
• Have you tried inserting the flash drive to another USB port?

In the meantime, we suggest updating the driver for your USB drive. This will help us identify if the issue is caused by outdated drivers. Kindly follow the steps on this article to update it:
Update drivers in Windows 10.

We recommend using our
Bing Translator to translate this message into Slovenish.

We'll wait for your response.

 

Readyboost

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I will assist you with this.

ReadyBoost can speed up your computer by using storage space on most USB flash drives and flash memory cards.

ReadyBoost uses the Superfetch service that should be enabled and set to "Running" and "Automatic".

For ReadyBoost to effectively speed up your computer, the flash drive or memory card should have at least 1 gigabyte (GB) of available space. If your drive or card doesn't have enough available space for ReadyBoost , you'll see a message telling you to free
some space on it. For best results, use a flash drive or flash memory card with at least double the amount of available space as the amount of memory (RAM) in your computer.

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps.

1. Plug the flash drive into a USB port on your computer.

2. In the AutoPlay dialog box, choose Speed Up My System.

3. The flash drive’s Properties dialog box appears with the
ReadyBoost tab upfront.

4. Click on ReadyBoost tab.

5. Choose the Use This Device option.

6. Click OK.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

ReadyBoost !

Hi, BRIAN LOFTHOUSE

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Regarding your question about CCleaner's interaction with a ReadyBoost-enabled USB stick, there are a couple of points to consider:

1. ReadyBoost and System Performance: ReadyBoost helps by caching frequently accessed data on a fast USB drive, which can reduce the time it takes to load that data compared to reading from a hard disk drive (HDD). However, this effect is more pronounced on systems with slower HDDs and less RAM. With 6 GB of RAM, the benefits might not be as significant unless you're running out of RAM due to many open applications or large files.

2. CCleaner Operation with ReadyBoost: When you run CCleaner, it shouldn't directly interfere with how ReadyBoost operates, as ReadyBoost uses a special cache file () on the USB drive. However, there might be indirect effects:ReadyBoost.sfcache
   
   • If CCleaner is set to clean temporary files and happens to interact with the USB drive, there's a possibility it could cause delays or issues if it tries to scan or clean files related to ReadyBoost. Normally, CCleaner should not interfere with ReadyBoost's cache file, but software behavior can vary.
     
   • The issue your friend encountered with CCleaner stopping during a scan could be unrelated to ReadyBoost. It might be due to a problem with CCleaner itself, the USB drive, or another system issue.
