  1. Is it ok if I disable Windows 10 memory compression?


    If I enable memory compression (via the mmagent cmdlet in powershell) I get this "error" in process explorer about a process called "memory compression" and the path reads "[a device attached to the system is not functioning.]":

    When I try to access any kind of information on it via properties settings, which there is none, it says "Access Is Denied" the only info I can see is threads tab that shows "ntoskrnlGetCompressionWorkspace" error.


    Anyways, if I disable memory compression via the mmagent cmdlet in powershell, I no longer get the "error" in process explorer! The image below shows that memory compression is disabled with its "False" value:

    But the other features having "True" values show that superfetch/prefetch is currently enabled. Normally superfetch enables memory compression by default when superfetch is on, until I manually disabled memory compression.


    Suppose Superfetch (and memory compression) was enabled before then I disabled the Superfetch service in Service Manager, well this is what the mmagent cmdlet in Powershell looks like.

    With Superfetch disabled, it also disables memory compression.


    Currently, I have enabled Superfetch but since I manually disabled memory compression it stayed disabled. Otherwise, memory compression would have been automatically enabled alongside the Superfetch features. I am having no issues other than that annoying "error" description in process explorer. My pagefile size is managed by windows if this matters at all.

  2. Is it ok if i turn off my laptop even though the Windows 10 is still downloading?

    Hi Macario,



    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.



    I would like to inform you that while downloading Windows 10 if you turn off the computer, then there are high possibilities that download process will start from beginning once you reboot the computer. Therefore, it would be better if you could wait
    till the download process gets finished.



    Hope it helps. Feel free to get back to us if you need more information and we'll be glad to assist.
