Windows will turn on memory compression by default, and you might disable it if you kindly.
But what is memory compression exactly, and should you even disable it in the first place?
Let’s take a look at this feature in a little more detail.
What Is Memory Compression on Windows, and Why Is It Important?
Memory compression on Windows is a feature that dynamically reduces the size of data before writing it to RAM.
To do that, right-clickStartand selectTask Manager.
In Task Manager, navigate to thePerformancetab and click onMemoryin the left sidebar.
When the PowerShell app shows up in the results, click onRun as Administrator.
You may even just want to turn it off due to personal preference.
If it saysFalse, then it means memory compression is off.
However, we advise against disabling memory compression since it gives your RAM more room to play.
