I used this TH article to help change some settings to maximize my new SSD.
More Space / Speed from SSD?
I think the disable prefetch suggestion is potentially risky and the article should be amended to note this. I cannot write in the comments there (disabled). The way it's written, I took it to be a "safe" choice. Safe compared to the warning given for pagefile for example, which I will not eliminate.
I clean installed Win10 on my brand new 224GB ADATA SSD, installed some programs, moved some stuff to the old SeaGate HDD, followed some tips (get rid of hibernate) and verified through WinDirStat. Eventually, my computer started freezing nearly every time (~95%) I booted up.
First, I looked for some tips based on the error codes, it involved the event viewer, ID 10016, DCOM, components services, blah blah blah. I thought it worked, 30 minutes later a whole new event took its place with the constant freezing and similar issues, with similar "solutions".
Then I thought maybe it was the old HDD failing, it actually failed in SeaTools and wouldn't repair, so I took it out and completely clean installed Win10 on the SSD alone.
I've been reinstalling and setting up for the last 3 hours and everything was fine. The minute I did those changes in the TH article above - all over again.
Eventually I got back into regedit and reset disable prefetch to the default 3 and went into services superfetch automatic ... no more freezing.
System restore is still disabled, hibernate is still disabled, SSD indexing still disabled, no other changes.
