How can I reset the AllocationPreference?
Hello,
due to a PMR we set the AllocationPreference in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\ to 0x100000 which causes the memory to populate top down. As we need to be prepared for switching the setting off if it turns out that this is a root cause performance issues on some machines I wonder what setting will switch the MEM_TOP_DOWN off. Would 0x0 work? best regards Danny |
Accepted answer
As the registry key is not there by default. The right (or safest) approach to switch MEM_TOP_DOWN off should be removing the key AllocationPreference completely.
