How to check the Optimization Status on a WinBook Tablet

Description: This article provides insight into the process that the WinBook Optimizer Utility uses to help free up storage space on a WinBook Tablet. It will also show a quick way to tell if the Optimizer has already been run on a particular tablet.

    One of the changes made by the WinBook Optimizer Utility is to manually set the size of the paging file (virtual memory) to prevent the reduction of available storage that results when Windows would dynamically increase the paging file size. The changes made to these settings provide a quick way to check a tablet to see if the Optimizer Utility has already been run.

  1. From the Desktop screen long tap (tap and hold for two seconds) the Windows Start icon in the lower left corner of the screen. A box will appear. Release the icon and a quick link menu will appear.
