🤔 What is Compressed Memory?

Windows uses a feature called Compressed Memory to reduce the size of less-used data in RAM instead of writing it to disk. This can improve responsiveness for low-memory systems.

When should you enable it?

✔️ Enable if:

  • You have 4GB to 16GB of RAM
  • You often run multiple programs
  • You want smoother multitasking

❌ Disable if:

  • You have 32GB, 64GB or more RAM
  • You want maximum performance without compression overhead
  • You prefer manual RAM control for AI, gaming, video rendering, etc.

ℹ️ This app applies changes instantly. A restart is recommended for the changes to take full effect.

🛠️ How to Use

  1. Download the .exe file (or clone the repo and build it yourself).
  2. Double-click to launch – it will ask for admin rights (required by Windows).
  3. Use the following buttons:
    • Check Status – Shows current memory compression state.
    • Disable Compression – Turns off Windows memory compression.
    • Enable Compression – Turns on memory compression.
  4. Review the output in the log box.
  5. (Optional) Click on:
