About this tag
ReadyBoot is a Windows 7 feature related to the Prefetch system, designed to improve boot performance by caching boot data. Users on WindowsForum.com discuss the ReadyBoot folder located within the Prefetch directory, as well as event log errors such as "Session ReadyBoot stopped due to the following error 0xC0000188" and ID 3 errors. Some users report disk thrashing caused by the ReadyBoot.etl file and seek methods to permanently disable ReadyBoot, noting that it can re-enable itself after reboot. Troubleshooting often involves distinguishing ReadyBoot from ReadyBoost, as the two are frequently confused. Common issues include system hanging after login and conflicts with drivers like nvrd32.
