Disable Superfetch in Windows 10

Disable Superfetch in Windows 10

Superfetch is good but if it is causing problem and making disk to 100% always, then it's a good idea to try disabling it. As in my PC it was causing disk to 100% always. So i just disabled it and now am not having the 100% disk usage problem always.

Here is how we can do this;

Open Command Prompt with administrator previlages.

Enter the following command;

net.exe stop sysmain

Press Enter

or if the above command is not working;

Then enter the following command;

net.exe stop superfetch

Press Enter

We can also do this in Services.msc

Open Run 

Type services.msc

Look for SysMain Service.

Right click on it and then click  on Stop

Or if you want to disable it permanently, then right click and select properties

Then Startup type to disabled.

To enable it right click on SysMain select properties and startup type to Automatic.

Click on Ok.

Done !

Simple as that.
