Windows uses a feature called Compressed Memory to reduce the size of less-used data in RAM instead of writing it to disk. This can improve responsiveness for low-memory systems.
✔️ Enable if:
- You have 4GB to 16GB of RAM
- You often run multiple programs
- You want smoother multitasking
❌ Disable if:
- You have 32GB, 64GB or more RAM
- You want maximum performance without compression overhead
- You prefer manual RAM control for AI, gaming, video rendering, etc.
ℹ️ This app applies changes instantly. A restart is recommended for the changes to take full effect.
