The Windows prefetcher aims to load applications faster by “prefetching” the application and storing it in the pre-fetch cache. You can speed up application loading by changing the default value of one the settings under the relevant key.
Navigate to:
HLM\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Session Manager\ Memory Management\ PrefetchParameters
The default value for the EnablePrefetcher setting is 3. Change this value to 5 to make applications load faster. You can experiment with higher values—up to 9—and see if you get a further improvement.
Since this relates to the system, a reboot is required for the change to take effect.
