    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.

    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 This will help us identify if the issue is caused by outdated drivers.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.

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

    Can you insert a different SD card on it to check if the same issue will happen? Which version of Windows are you using on the other device where ReadyBoost tab appeared? Is it running Windows 10 as well? This will help us isolate if the issue is only happening
    with the SD card or the computer itself.

    Meanwhile, we suggest performing the System File checker as it can help detect possible corrupted or missing system files that can be causing the issue. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Open Cortana/Search.
    • Type in Command Prompt.
    • On the Search results, right-click on the best match for it and choose
      Run as administrator.
    • On the Command Prompt window, type in sfc /scannow then click
      Enter on your keyboard.
    • Restart the computer after the process, then check if ReadyBoost tab will appear.

    Update us with the outcome.
