How to Change the Size of the FileSystem Cache

  • Article

You can change the size of the FileSystem cache by using the command line. This action requires a complete reset of the cache, and it requires administrative rights.

To change the size of the FileSystem cache

  1. Set the following registry value to 0 (zero):

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\Client\AppFS\State

  2. Set the following registry value to the maximum cache size, in MB, that is necessary to hold the packages—for example, 8192 MB:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SoftGrid\4.5\Client\AppFS\FileSize

  3. Restart the computer.
