Turn off faster boot and resume time feature.

This tweak makes the system not use the non-volatile (NV) cache to optimize boot and resume.

Tweak for : Windows Vista

Description:

Microsoft has designed a hybrid drive that is currently supported only in Vista. This drive uses a non-volatile (NV) cache to achieve faster boot and resume. Portion of the required data is stored in the NV cache during shutdown and hibernate respectively.

However, if you turn the feature off you may notice a slight increase in the time taken for shutdown and hibernate.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey “\NvCache” does not exist, create it as explained below. Then, create a DWORD value “OptimizeBootAndResume” in the right panel, and change its data value to “0”.

However, to turn on NV cache feature, delete the subkey “NvCache”.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
