update using data plan

Wondered if you can help? Iv got a Lumia 640 and love it, but Iv got problem. My phone is telling my there is an update available. Iv got an unlimited data plan due to having lack of WiFi. I click on download now to update and its doing nothing. It also
does it with big games. Is there anything I need to switch on because its really frustrating. I also think windows it the best phone out there... But it needs some little tweaks hear and there. Keep up the good work, listen to wot people want and I'm sure
it will be number 1 in the market, iv already been telling my friends about it. I do think it needs more apps game ect but I'm hoping you guys are on it.

The "Image File Execution Options" key is provided to developers for debugging purposes. Apparently is tells the OS to use large pages for the application image if this is possible. The virtual address space of an application is divided into pages, usually 4096 bytes. Larger sizes are available for special purposes. Large pages have advantages and disadvantages. This is complex and you won't understand it by reading a few forum posts. I know little about it.

Be aware that the website you found this on may have it wrong.

My advice would be to leave such settings alone unless you really understand what you are doing. As I mentioned before this is designed for developer use.

This is the only reference I could find:

Don't ask me to explain it.

 

Oh okay that makes since. I have one more question though when using the debug would you use it like [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\C:\Program Files (x86)\NCSOFT\WildStar\Client64\WildStar64.exe]
"UseLargePages"=dword:00000001

Or



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File] Execution Options\WildStar64
"UseLargePages"=dword:00000001

 

The article I linked to answers your question.
I don't have any other information regarding this.
