Should I disable service Host: Superfetch

[brandonmufc06]

When i open up task manager, i sometimes notice Service host: Superfetch is using a lot of resources, so what i want to know is can i disable it, should i disable it and if i do will it break my laptop?

I don't really know what it does, for all i know what i am asking is like asking "Should i delete System32?", i am no expert with this sort of stuff.

Thanks

No, Superfetch is what Windows uses to load up commonly used apps into memory so they are ready for you to use straight away when you go to use them.

So i shouldn't end the task then?

No, while it would give you a few more resources, it will also cause quite a lot of problems, because if you do end it, then if you're unlucky, it can cause Windows to corrupt it's self or one of your apps. I know it's annoying seeing an app take up like 25% of your resources, but just live with it for a while t'ill Microsoft develops a more elegant solution
