Wise Memory Optimizer (Sharing an experience)  

The Pool Man said:

With my typical tasks I can manage Windows 10 on 8Gbs of RAM.

6 GB at my end. I use no memory optimizer.

Just for fun, I tried the Wise Memory Optimiser after reading this thread and after using it for a bit my laptop suddenly turned itself off with neither warning nor anything showing in Reliability Monitor when I rebooted. Ran a full hour-long Lenovo diagnostic on the memory which came up clean, and no repeat of the problem after I removed WMO. So I think I'll have no further truck with memory managers - I don't know what possessed me to ignore my earlier suspicion that they are, at best, snake oil.

Ah, the only way to know for sure is to give things a try for yourself to see how they work. Beauty of being an enthusiast I gues.

Yes, came across the same article myself - too late to save me from some aggravation! But, as you say, you've got to try these things for yourself if you're an enthusiast...............
