lurch234 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 How to Enable or Disable Memory Compression in Windows 10 & 11 Published by Timothy Tibbetts on 01/21/2022 A newer feature introduced in Windows 10 and continuing with Windows 11 is Memory Manager or MM. Windows 10 & 11 use Memory Manager by default, but you can enable or disable it. Memory Manager (MM) was designed to compress infrequently-accessed memory pages, which reduces the number of reads and writes to the disk (pagefile) and therefore improves responsiveness. Compressing memory reduces the amount of memory used per process, allowing the operating system to maintain more physical memory applications before enacting traditional paging. Memory Manager is on by default, but some people claim to reduce lag if they have a high-end CPU. Before proceeding, remember that it is recommended that you leave Memory Manager on.
