How To Disable CPU Core Parking For Multi-Core Processors / langsames Windows schneller machen / Superfetch verwalten

Multicore Parking verhindern

For those of you who are using laptops with Windows 7 or Vista installed, you may be disappointed to find out the dual, quad or octal core processor you invested in isn’t actually using all of the cores. That’s right… out of the box these operating systems do not fully enable the distribution of processes over the cores for certain system configurations. For the most part, these configurations are limited to laptops.

The reason for disabling multiple cores really comes down to energy consumption. The default power profiles set forth by Microsoft opt for an energy savings based configuration, even when the power settings are set to full performance. Personally, I find it rather obnoxious, as once I disabled core parking, I saw a significant increase in all of my processor intensive tasks.

How To Disable CPU Core Parking For Dual And Quad Processors:

1. Copy the following registry key entry between the brackets [ 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 ].

2. Select your start button.

3. In the search box, type ‚regedit‘ and press enter.

4. Once your registry editor is open, select ‚Edit‘ and ‚Find…‘.

5. Paste the above registry key in the box and select ‚Find‘.

6. Once it has located it, look for the keys on the right hand side labeled MinValue and MaxValue.

7. Double click on each value and make sure they are both set to ‚0‘.

8. Select ‚Edit‘ and ‚Find Next…‘.

9. Continue to replace MinValue and MaxValue for each entry until you have replaced them all.

10. Close the registry editor and shut down your computer.

11. Power the computer back up.

12. Core Parking should now be disabled.

To check whether or not your cores are parked simply press ctrl + alt + del and open the task manager. You can then select the ‚Performance‘ tab and open the ‚Resource Monitor…‘. Within the resource monitor, select the ‚CPU‘ tab and look at the graphs on the right hand side. None of the CPUs should say, in text, that they are parked. If they do not, then your processor cores are not parked.

 

Die Einstellungen in Registry für den schnelleren Start:

Wenn Windows hochfährt, wird automatisch nach verbundenen Netzlaufwerken Ausschau gehalten. Dadurch verzögert sich natürlich der Start – doch diese
Startbremse kannst du durch einen Eingriff in die Registry lösen:
Anklicken auf „Start“ und gb den Befehl

„regedit“ ein.
Anschließend wechseln zu dem Schlüssel „HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider“.

Anklicken dann auf das Menü „Neu/Bearbeiten/DWORD-Wert“. Als Namen für diesen neuen DWORD-Wert wird „RestoreConnection“ und den Wert „0“ eingegeben.

und:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Session Manager\ Memory Management\
PrefetchParameters
Findest du den Eintrag “EnablePrefetcher“, hier sollte als Wert 3 Eingetragen sein, damit die Funktion aktiv ist.

Einstellung in der „Registry“: HLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\WaitToKillServiceTimeOut

den Wert eingeben = 3000

Schnellere Fenstervorschau: Mouse ( statt 400, auf 5 einstellen)

Aufgabeplannung: Unnötige „Sachen“, löschen!
Unnötige nicht-Microsoft Dienste: deaktivieren!

How To View Superfetch Cache Contents in Windows 7

Superfetch is one of the reason that makes you feel Windows 7 runs faster and smoother than any of its predecessor, and that’s why you shouldn’t disable it in any case.

In fact, Superfetch isn’t a new idea invented in Windows 7. It’s an enhanced version of Prefetch that has been around since Windows XP. It uses the same folder name and does the same thing, but does it slightly different and better than in XP. Superfetch is the key that avoids the situation where the performance of your computer would decrease after running a while.

Explore to %systemroot%\prefetch, you will actually see what’s been fetched. For instance, I have 147 items fetched in prefetch folder by Superfetch process.

But that’s too hard to see things clearly. Let’s use a nice little tool called WinPrefetchView to get a more detailed picture.

Highlighting any application listed at the top shows you the detail files opened by that application at the bottom. Also, right-clicking on the application and selecting Properties pops up a window with detail information about that application.

You can also generate a HTML report that gives you a full list of what’s been superfetched.

Even better, if you want to kick some applications out of the fetch cache, you can simply select these applications and delete them in this tool.

WinPrefetchView is a Free portable tool developed by NirSoft that works on any version of Windows that has this fetch feature, including XP, Vista, and 7, on both 32-bit and 64-bit.

To launch the tool in Windows 7, make sure your run it as administrator because the tool needs to access the prefetch folder that requires the administrator’s rights to open. Right-click the tool and select Run as administrator.

Again, Superfetch in Windows 7 is a nice enhanced feature, and you shouldn’t disable it. Emptying the Prefetch folder frequently is also not recommended. It’s ok to remove a few items out of the cache but make sure you know what you are doing.


Festplatte prüfen

Was sagt der Windows Leistungsindex zur Festplatte?

Stehen Fehlermeldungen in den Windows Protokollen? Systemsteuerung –> Verwaltung –> Ereignisanzeigen.

Teste mal deine Festplatte mit http://www.hdtune.com/download.html (Die Pro-Version ist 15 Tage kostenlos.)

Unter Info nachsehen ob die Festplatten im richten Modus laufen (min. UDMA Mode 6 „active“)

Genauso ein Lesetest (Benchmark) und der Error Scan kan man dann auch mal durchlaufen lassen.
