After update my W10 from Anniversary to Creators, windows enabled Superfetch to automatic. I always had Superfech disable on my Samsung SSD. Should i disable it, or let windows manage my SSD?
Thanks.

Disable that resource hog if your OS is running on an SSD.

I have a Samsung SSD too some say leave Superfetch alone and others say disable it. what should we really do? sometimes the boot speed is faster with Superfetch off.
I would strongly advice against disabling Superfetch even with SSD. A few weeks ago I noticed a severe slowdown on my system. Everything felt sluggish, specially games. It was Superfetch was disabled. I think this is one of those "performance myths" prowling the Internet. I think W8 and onwards Superfetch implementation doesn't have anything to do with older Windows versions.
Just try it. If you do not notice any improvements, then disable it.
Yes It feels different when i disable Superfetch even on SSD and I always end up set it back on Automatic. Windows feels more stable with Superfetch on even on SSD.
Thanks guy's,
I will take your advices, and i have enabled Superfetch again to Automatic on my SSD.
Thanks again.
I use to like Samsung Magician 4.9x, it had different profiles on what to disable, enter 5.x and its all gone.
Have a look here Samsung Magician Settings - Storage Devices - Linus Tech Tips
Hi,
Total nonsense I'm afraid. On an SSD Superfetch is of little use if at all. It was designed to speed up HDDs by reading and caching whatever is ran at startup so loading time is reduced.
if you boot from an SSD you may just as well disable Superfetch, Prefetch and even Fast Start. Your system should even perform better that way.
Cheers,
