If you want your software to start in 3 secs instead of 4 secs (at the cost), then yes, you need it.
Enable or Disable SuperFetch in Windows | Tutorials
Start - Run - CMD as admin:
Code:sc config SysMain start= disabled reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters" /v "EnablePrefetcher" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters" /v "EnableSuperfetch" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
Superfetch should settle down after a while. You could try flushing contents of Windows\Superfetch folder; reboot your PC and see what happens.
Superfetch preloads applications that you use often. This means that when you start the computer it will take a bit longer to become responsive and then launching those applications will be a bit faster. But you don't really need Superfetch, it's safe to disable.
I advice to disable Superfetch only if you are facing issues. Otherwise you will incur in a noticeable speed degradation over time, even with SSD. And nowadays Superfetch does more than just preloading apps into memory. It's more complex than that.
PS - By the way the new service name for Superfetch is now SysMain.
It's still caled SuperFetch in 1803, or am I missing something? Task Manage calls it still.
It doesn't take much to call a program or application, example would be to press Windows key + R and type Write [from back in Windows 3.xx days of the early '90s], will call up Wordpad.It's still caled SuperFetch in 1803, or am I missing something? Task Manage calls it still.
