How to prevent Windows 10 update from corrupting RamDisk image
5 years ago, by snemarch in RAM Disk Forum
Hi, This morning I woke up to a computer that was turned on - "oh great, Windows Update resumed from standby again, and even did it in spite of me turning off wake timers". That would have been a minor annoyance to start the day with, unfortunately it also turned out the image file backing my persistent ramdisk had been corrupted, and I had forgotten to add the folders on it I cared a

Haven't had any problems, and I run everything from virtual machines to development environmen
