Windows 10, как правило, на удивление хорошо работает на старых и недостаточно мощных ПК, но иногда все из нас могут столкнуться более медленной работой компьютера.

Даже когда ваш компьютер работает хорошо, многие пользователи всегда ищут способы улучшить производительность ПК с Windows. Есть очевидные способы сделать это; купить твердотельный диск или добавить оперативную память. К сожалению, оба этих варианта довольно дороги. Более того, многие старые ноутбуки оснащены 4 ГБ оперативной памяти, поэтому эти улучшения не всегда являются возможным. К счастью, если у вас есть запасная флешка или карта памяти, которой  вы не пользуетесь, вы можете улучшить производительности Windows 10, без необходимости покупать дорогое оборудование.

Microsoft включила функцию в Windows под названием «ReadyBoost» с момента запуска Windows Vista. Несмотря на то что функция присутствует в системе уже длительное время, возможность улучшить производительность ПК за счет использования внешнего флеш-накопителя неизвестна многим пользователям. К счастью, если у вас есть USB-флеш-накопитель или SD-карта, которые не используются, вы легко можете включить ReadyBoost и повысить производительность без лишних затрат.

ReadyBoost работает в сочетании с функцией Windows — SuperFetch, позволяя ускорить процесс кэширования данных из приложений, которые вы используете чаще всего. Windows по сути делает то же самое, используя системную память, но ReadyBoost освобождает RAM память, позволяя хранилищу флэш-накопителя обрабатывать задачу вместо оперативной памяти.

Прежде чем начать, несколько небольших оговорок. Количество улучшений производительности, предлагаемых ReadyBoost, может отличаться на разных компьютерах. Более низкая спецификация ПК (слабый компьютер) получит гораздо больше улучшений, чем ПК высокого класса. Фактически, улучшение производительности на ПК с большим количеством ОЗУ и диском SSD будет настолько незначительным, что это может быть даже не заметно. Это будет наиболее полезно, для более старых ноутбуков с Windows 10 и малым объемом ОЗУ, ограниченным 4 ГБ или даже меньше.

Еще один фактор, который следует учитывать, заключается в том, что скорость USB-флеш-накопителя или SD-карты влияет на улучшение производительности. Более новый, более быстрый флеш-накопитель лучше, чем старая флешка, которая, вы сами не помните как появилась).

Аналогично, если вы решите попробовать ReadyBoost с SD-кард-ридером, обратите пристальное внимание на класс SD-карты. Класс SD-карты — это номер, обычно напечатанный на этикетке, который указывает скорость чтения / записи. Для этого желательно использовать более высокий класс. Если возможно, используйте SD-карту класса 10. В то время как более медленная карта по-прежнему будет работать. Если ваш старый флеш-накопитель или SD-карта слишком медленный, чтобы предложить минимальное повышение производительности, Windows покажет вам сообщение об этом – «Это устройство нельзя использовать».

Как Включить ReadyBoost в Windows 10:

1. Вставьте USB-накопитель (или SD-карту) в компьютер.

1. Перейдите в Проводник.

Найдите нужный USB-накопитель в списке, кликните правой кнопкой мыши на нем и выберите « Форматировать…» . Задайте параметры следующим образом: 

• Файловая система: NTFS. 
• Размер единицы распределения: 4096 байт.

3. В проводнике кликните правой кнопкой мыши на вашем USB-накопителе, чтобы открыть свойства.

Картинка с сайта: g-ek.com

1. В свойствах накопителя , перейдите во вкладку «ReadyBoost».

1. Выберите «Использовать это устройство».

Картинка с сайта: g-ek.com

Вы можете использовать объем зарезервированного пространства, рекомендованный Windows, или выбрать оббьем пространства ReadyBoost  самостоятельно.

1. Нажмите «Применить».

Вот и все. Как уже отмечалось, улучшение производительности на новых ПК будет не значительным, но если вы используете ноутбук Windows 10, которому несколько лет, вы должны заметить небольшое улучшение производительности системы, особенно при загрузке или при запуске часто используемых приложений или программ.

Learn how to enable Readyboost, a feature which aids in system performance, on USB hard drives and SD cards that it does not support.

Are you looking to enable Readyboost for your flash drive?

In a previous article we described what Readyboost is – a disk caching technology introduced in Vista that allows use of a USB flash drive or SD, MMC and TF cards as added virtual RAM for your computer. We described thoroughly how to activate ReadyBoost, as well as clearly noted that ReadyBoost does not offer a significant performance boost. However, it might be worth it – you will only know if it works for you when you try it personally, on your own system.

Visit that popular post here.

We also let our readers know that not all external media can utilize Readyboost – some old or slow USB flash drives might not pass the test.

How do I know if my device is suitable?

Before even running the test, you might be able to get an idea by checking the system requirements of Readyboost:

• The flash key should be at least 256 MB in size, with at least 64 KB of free space.
• It should have an access time of 1 ms or less.
• Should have abilities of at least a 2.5 MB/sec throughput for 4 KB random reads.
• Should have at least a 1.75 MB/sec throughput for 1 MB random writes.

As you understand, older and over-used devices often cannot meet these requirements, especially on the issue of read and write speeds – essentially, a USB flash drive does have a limit of read and writes in its life, after which its performance significantly deteriorates.

So, you might ask – what happens if I only have one flash drive to spare because I do not want to use my brand new device in ReadyBoost?

Is there a way to force enable Readyboost?

This is where this guide might be helpful for you. Even if you have a device that is not supported. We will describe a work-around that will allow you to enable ReadyBoost for your device. You will accomplish it by “tricking” the operating system into thinking the device is fast enough.

Disclaimer: This article will guide you into editing a Windows Registry entry. If you follow it exactly, there should not be any problem at all with your system. If you make mistakes, we are not to blame for the problems you might cause.

Step 1:

Insert USB flash drive in your USB port directly, not on a USB hub. Make sure the USB is installed properly and close the AutoPlay window that might pop up.

Step 2:

Open This PC, right click on your USB flash drive and select Properties.

Step 3:

Select ReadyBoost tab and tick the box that says Do Not Retest This Device.

Step 4:

Start search and type regedit. This will open the Registry Editor.

Step 5:

Navigate to the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EMDMgmt

Картинка с сайта: nitrotech.info

As you see in the image, all the USB drives that have been detected in the past are shown here – each line is a flash drive, and the pattern goes like this:

_??_USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_Verbatim&Prod_VApps_Drive&Rev_2.67#1E75E5683884D150&0#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}YURI_551072571

Near the beginning of this long line we notice the Verbatim brand and that helps us identify which USB flash drive we want to enable ReadyBoost on. Did you fail to identify your flash drive from this extensive list? Then try to find a product which has a value 4 at DeviceStatus. This would be a USB whose test that failed.

Step 6:

Double click on WriteSpeedKBs and change its value data to 1000 (Decimal) or anything larger than that.

Step 7:

Double click on DeviceStatus, and modify the value date to 2.

Step 8:

This step might not be required, depending on your device. Right click on the blank space in that selected USBfolder and click on QWORD (64 bit) Value and after that right click to rename the value to SpeedReadKBs and press enter. Now double click on that file and change the Value Data from 0 to 1000 and then press OK.

Step 9:

Exit the Registry Editor, locate your flash drive in This PC, tight click on it, select Properties and navigate to ReadyBoost. You might have to ask Windows to test this device again, and this time the window will present with the options to enable Readyboost.

So will this boost my system?

Keep in mind that this feature already offers a rather insignificant performance boost. Well, when you force enable Readyboost on a slower USB device you actually bring this boost to even lower levels. But hey – nothing to lose in trying, right?

Please do let us know of your opinions on this feature, especially if you enable Readyboost on a slower USB pen drive. Are you satisfied with the results?

So let’s start with;

Solution #1: Troubleshooting Compatibility Issue

When diving into the world of ReadyBoost compatibility, it’s crucial to face the reality: not all flash drives are cut out for ReadyBoost glory. This hard truth can be a tough pill to swallow, leaving users feeling let down when their favorite flash drives don’t make the cut.

If you find yourself in this sticky situation, one option is to rummage through your stash of flash drives for a potential match. Sometimes, the magic key to unlocking ReadyBoost lies in finding that golden flash drive that plays nicely with your system, boosting its performance like a champ.

But here’s a twist: compatibility isn’t just about flash drives. Your computer’s hardware, especially if it’s rocking an SSD (Solid State Drive) as its main Windows drive, plays a big role too. SSDs are game-changers in storage tech, offering a massive speed boost compared to old-school Hard Disk Drives (HDDs).

ReadyBoost works by using extra storage, like flash drives, as a speedy disk cache service. But if your system already boasts an SSD, it’s pretty darn good at handling memory caching itself. So, the need for a flash drive to pitch in with ReadyBoost becomes a bit redundant.

When your system spots an SSD in charge, it tends to skip using flash drives for ReadyBoost, recognizing the SSD’s prowess in memory caching. This highlights how crucial hardware compatibility is when considering ReadyBoost, prompting a deep dive into your system’s hardware setup to figure out the best way to supercharge your system performance.

Condition #3: Computer Still Working Slowly Even After Using ReadyBoost

ReadyBoost, in theory, is like giving your computer a little energy drink boost as extra supporting cache memory to help out your main RAM. But, sometimes, it feels like your computer’s just shrugged it off, right?

Here’s a quick rundown of why ReadyBoost might not be the magic potion you hoped for:

1. RAM’s Not Enough: If your computer’s RAM is like a tiny teacup trying to handle a gallon of tasks, ReadyBoost might not cut it. Upgrading your RAM or switching to a speedier type could give your system the real kick it needs.
2. Hardware Blues: Your computer’s performance is a team effort involving the CPU, Graphics Card, and storage. If any of these are showing their age, they might be holding back ReadyBoost from doing its thing.
3. Software Gremlins: Malware, outdated drivers, or software clashes can mess with your system’s groove. A good ol’ system scan, driver update, and software check-up might clear these pesky gremlins out.
4. Disk Drama: If your hard drive’s files are throwing a party and getting all mixed up (aka fragmented), it’s going to slow things down. A disk defrag session could help tidy up and speed things up.
5. Background Party Crashers: Some sneaky apps and processes love hogging your system’s resources like they’ve got VIP passes. Shutting down or tweaking these can free up space and let your system breathe.
6. Task Overload: If you’re trying to run a marathon with ankle weights by juggling a bunch of heavy-duty apps at once, your system’s going to tire out. Managing your tasks and resources smartly can ease the load.

While ReadyBoost can give your system a little nudge in the right direction, it’s not the end-all-be-all fix. For the best performance, you’ll want to dive deeper, maybe throw in some hardware upgrades, tidy up your software, and keep things well-maintained. After all, a happy computer makes for a happy tech geek!

Что нужно знать

Технология ReadyBoost предназначена для ускорения запуска ОС и программного обеспечения. Она использует свободное пространство на внешних USB-накопителях, например флешках, но для них есть определенные нюансы:

Чем выше версия USB, тем быстрее скорость передачи данных, что также увеличивает производительность системы.

Для включения ReadyBoost подходят устройства только таких форм-факторов, как флешки, цифровые SD-карты, а также карты CompactFlash.

Следует отметить, что постоянное использование флеш-накопителя в качестве дополнительной оперативной памяти значительно уменьшает срок эксплуатации устройства, поскольку у него ограниченный записывающий ресурс. Система записывает на нее временные данные, пока работает, что снижает нагрузку на основные компоненты.

Если устройство поддерживает только USB версии 2.0, а разъем используется 3.0, то все равно скорость работы ограничится пределом до 480 Мбит/с, что является пределом спецификации USB 2.0.

Использование технологии ReadyBoost не всегда целесообразно, но если нужно ускорить загрузку операционной системы, можно воспользоваться альтернативными способами, описанными в нашем материале по ссылке ниже.

Инструкция по включению

Перед тем как включить ReadyBoost, потребуется проделать дополнительные действия с активацией службы ускорения работы системы, затем можно использовать накопитель и его свойства.

Шаг 1: Проверка службы «SysMain»

Технология активируется с помощью штатных средств операционной системы, но для начала необходимо задействовать службу «SysMain». Она предназначена для ускорения Windows в более мощных компьютерах, но часть пользователей отключает функцию из-за того, что она постоянно задействует ОЗУ и другие ресурсы, иногда мешая работе программ и вызывая зависания.

1. Откройте штатную утилиту «Службы», используя поиск в меню «Пуск».

2. В списке отыщите пункт «SysMain» и дважды щелкните по нему, чтобы открыть окно со свойствами. Для удобства службы можно упорядочить по алфавиту, кликнув по заголовку столбца «Имя».

Шаг 2: Включение ReadyBoost

После активации службы Windows 10 можно приступать к активации технологии ReadyBoost.

1. Вставьте накопитель в разъем USB. Отформатируйте его, если потребуется. Для этого перейдите в «Проводник», щелкните по названию устройства правой кнопкой мыши и выберите соответствующий пункт.

2. В новом окне выберите в качестве файловой системы «NTFS», затем нажмите на кнопку «Начать» и дождитесь, пока форматирование закончится.
3. После снова щелкните ПКМ по названию накопителя и откройте раздел «Свойства».

4. В системном окне перейдите на вкладку «ReadyBoost». По умолчанию функция выключена, но есть два варианта работы с технологией. «Предоставлять это устройство для технологии ReadyBoost» позволяет оставить на накопителе все файлы, а свободное пространство станет использоваться для ускорения системы. При выборе «Использовать это устройство» будет обеспечено максимальное доступное место, при этом потребуется указать объем, используя ползунок и шкалу ниже.

Возможные проблемы

Проблем с технологией ReadyBoost может быть несколько, а основные причины это:

• Несовместимость накопителя с технологией. В этом случае при включении функции отобразится системное уведомление об ошибке;
• Хорошие системные характеристики компьютера или ноутбука, поэтому ReadyBoost не даст преимущества, поскольку у технологии также есть ограничения. Например, если на ПК установлено ОЗУ 16 ГБ и стоит SSD-диск, то эффективность дополнительной памяти падает, а какое-либо улучшение в скорости работы не будет заметным.

Когда в окне свойств накопителя отсутствует вкладка «ReadyBoost», проверьте, какой тип накопителя установлен в компьютере. Если это SSD, то надобности в технологии нет, поэтому такая функция не предусматривается.
