SuperFetch attempts to load commonly used libraries and application components into memory before they are required.<\/p>\n<h3>SuperFetch won't work after upgrade<\/h3>\n<p>In a German forum there is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drwindows.de\/windows-10-desktop\/128790-kein-superfetch-mehr-seit-creators-update.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">discussion<\/a>, that <em>SuperFetch <\/em>service won't work after an upgrade to Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703).
