Re: Enlightening findings on file compression and PrimoCache

I've found that Win7 NTFS writes the uncompressed file first, then compresses it into a new file and finally deletes the original uncompressed file. Does Win10/11 work the same way or has M$ finally managed to compress the data on the fly using RAM?

Re: Delay in prefetching cache at windows boot

Thank you, you are very right on that topic since the prefetch map files are kept in the boot drive (which is unencrypted in my case). I'm just encrypting my data against a physical theft but yours' a very good security tip for others who may want to go with a full security schema.

Re: Delay in prefetching cache at windows boot

The delay is actually very usefull. That way it gives me time to unlock my encrypted disks, otherwise the cache never gets loaded. Although the delay is so small that sometimes I don't get to unlock everything and then the delay times out leaving the cache unloaded.
