Windows 10: Unload DLL From RAM Memory - tweak [Question]

Unload DLL From RAM Memory - tweak

I have looked at several tutorials that explain this tweak, but some advise creating a new string value with the name AlwaysUnloadDll and then assigning it a value of 1.
In others they advise creating a new DWORD (32-bits) value.

Should I create a new string value or a new DWORD value for AlwaysUnloadDll ?

I use Windows 10 pro 2004 version build 19041.450.

Unloading DLL

exactly. actually constantly loading and unloading dlls will cost you more performance than losing a little bit of memory

 

Unloading DLL

True that lol.. even more so if ya on 8GB like i am...

memory fragmentation yes but the programs don't seem to do any thing to make them worth buying.

 

Unloading DLL

Unloading the DLL is pointless. We're no longer in the era of 128Mb of RAM. It's like paging the core files. You get better performance just leaving it all in RAM.

There are no adverse effects to leaving a DLL in RAM. It's designed to work that way for a reason, namely making the program quicker to boot up and allowing other programs access to the same DLL without having to unload and reload it.

It's another of these options that were once very useful, but now aren't even though we are lead to believe they still are.
