  1. How can I limit standby/cache memory in windows 10


    HiWhen my PC starts up there is 7GB of memory set aside as cache/standby. As I use my PC through the day and over the course of a couple of days this goes up until there is around 25GB cached. When it gets to this point starting an application that requires a lot of memory will typically cause all other applications to crash, screens go blank off and on and often the PC itself will restart.I understand its there so that previous apps when starting for a second time will be quicker but the experience is that second time running an app is only marginally quicker and harm it causes in reducing

  2. Standby/CACHE RAM Limitation setting or program for Windows 10

    I Need to figure out how to change a setting in windows to set a Maximum Standby Memory or Cached memory to a limit of my choosing. I know people already say Windows 10 requires more cached ram so the operating system is "Faster". But i don't want Windows
    hogging 4GB of RAM when it could be used for something else. I've looked at other posts about C++ being an option but i am not a programmer. Is there a good trustworthy freeware or Command line code i don't know about that can permanently change this setting?

  4. How can I limit standby/cache memory in windows 10

    How to Disable memory caching/standby memory in windows 10?

    Okay I know this is going to sound strange and I know Im going to get people that will tell me how I dont want to turn off standby memory.

    SHUSH

    yes I do. don't tell me I dont.

    I have been having several stability and preformance problems related to standby memory slowly growing and taking up space during a usage session, noticeably impacting performance and causing response time lags and even stutters.

    When my system is freshly booted up and the standby memory is hardly taking up any space on my ram at all, my system is lightning fast with no performance issues at all, but as the standby memory grows i start getting audio stuttering, video stuttering, and
    even mouse response lag.

    When I clear the standby memory that all goes away.

    Please can anyone tell me how do I 100% turn off standby memory/memory caching in its entirety? Meaning yes there will be empty space in my RAM unless an application decides to fill it. meaning applications also dont have to wait for the standby memory to be
    unloaded to replace the adress with its own memory. As far as I'm concerned at this point Standby memory in windows 10 is just a fancy kind of memory leak.
