I disabled Windows Prefetch to save RAM — I was actually making my PC slower

Last week, I wrote about how I disabled Windows Prefetch to free up nearly 5GB of RAM on my system. At that time, I genuinely believed I was making a smart optimization. But as several readers in the comments rightly pointed out, disabling Prefetch was a mistake. The bigger mistake was believing that high RAM usage was inherently a bad thing. So I decided to revisit my decision, re-enable Prefetch, and take a closer look at how Windows actually manages memory.
