Windows 10 – Application Settings Randomly Popping Up

email me

You’ll sometimes notice after upgrading to Windows 10, the settings, the enhanced application settings boxes, will just randomly appear. This is how you disable that odd behavior.

Run these commands from an admin command prompt, or add to a script:

net stop SysMain

sc config SysMain start= disabled

reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters” /v “EnableSuperfetch” /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
