You cannot directly disable the disk cache in Windows 10. The disk cache is a crucial component of the operating system that helps improve system performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory. Disabling it would significantly hinder your computer's speed and responsiveness.
However, you can adjust the disk cache settings to manage its size and behavior. You can achieve this by modifying the "Disk Defragmenter" settings. Here's how:
- Open Disk Defragmenter: Search for "Disk Defragmenter" in the Windows search bar and open the application.
- Select the Drive: Choose the drive you want to configure.
- Click "Advanced Settings": You'll find this option at the bottom of the window.
- Adjust Cache Settings: The "Advanced Settings" window will display options related to the disk cache. You can adjust the cache size and other settings based on your preferences.
Note: These settings are not directly related to disabling the disk cache but can help you manage its behavior.
