I differ. Review in your task scheduler how many of these are executed with the highest privileges.

This leads me to think that maybe I could run PrimoCache through the task scheduler ...

P.S. I see that there is already a task with high privileges for PrimoCache called PrimoCacheLaunchGui, although it seems that it only affects the interface.

I remembered that Spectre/Meltdown patch only affects the performance of user-mode processes whether they are running at admin level or not, and do not affect kernel-mode processes. If my memory is wrong or inaccurate, please correct me.
PrimoCache cache functions are implemented in the kernel mode. So its native performance shall not be affected by the patch.

I don't think kernel-level processes can run as user. Primocache is a kernel process, so would run as Administrator.

Edit - hadn't read 2nd page yet, Support beat me to it. :lol:
