    . Turned out that on a typical day of browsing several thousand files got written — just think of the hit that would make to an SSD! And on every day too!

    In any case, I'm not certain that anyone answered my initial question definitively regarding Windows Update files and their location with respect to TEMP folders
    The first is more frequent anyway.

    Presumably, given your concern, you don't use hibernation or fast startup.

    Correct, the installer for the ramdisk warns that Fast Startup can cause problems with the ramdisk, corrupt ramdisk contents, because Fast Startup might corrupt RAM contents. The installer offers a one-click option to turn off Fast Startup, I did turn it off. Likewise I totally disabled Hibernation and, as far as I am aware, doing that automatically disables Fast Startup anyway. I use Sleep a lot but have never had any issues with that.
