Please don't. Such tool forces running program data in RAM to be swapped
into page file. Those running programs need to access their data, thus
causing swapping data back from page file into RAM. While this will increase performance of programs which will be run, it will decrease performance of
the entire system. Such tool can not actually know which and how much data
is actually needed by the owning program.

"Windows 10 is designed to manage memory efficiently, and the built-in
system does not require third-party RAM cleaners. The operating system automatically optimizes memory usage, ensuring that the system runs
smoothly without the need for additional software. RAM cleaners often do
more harm than good, as they can lead to performance issues, waste CPU
cycles, and even cause system crashes. It is recommended to focus on
regular maintenance and updates to keep the system running optimally."

various trolls & dizum.com. This makes ACF easier to read. Take back
tech corporations from India & industry back from China.

I thought it was interesting enough to keep and use from time to time.
Others on ACF can decide for themselves.

It's interresting, yes. But not if it doesn't actually know what it's
actually doing, and what the effect it would cause.

It's a different matter if the truth is not mentioned. I surely hope ACF
won't become polluted by snake-oil freewares.

Did you look at the links in my previous reply?
There was information to offer the point of view that it is a worthwhile program.

That's not the point.

The point is that, users are not informed of the side effect from the
benefit it provides.

I don't have any problem if they inform users.

Not disclosing important information is just bad. Whether it's intentional
or not. And it's worse, if its disclosure is overshadowed by benefits.
