By default, the drivers and the Windows kernel is loaded into virtual memory (swap file), in layman's terms they are loaded on a virtual space on the hard disk. If you have enough RAM is available, it is possible to force load kernel and drivers in RAM (memory), which can significantly improve system performance. However, if the amount of RAM available is not large enough, this can block your system

- Locate the following entry:
-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Control>Session Manager>Memory Management
-
- Create or edit the DisablePagingExecutive key (DWORD type) and give it the value of 1 (default 0).
