Windows – Disable OS optimization for Samsung Magician

ssdwindows 8

I have a SamSung 830 128GB SSD And have Samsung Magician 4.1 running on Windows 8 x64 Pro.
Somehow I keep getting insufficient memory issues in Windows. I have 4GB and cannot upgrade my Dell XPS15. The windows taskmanager shows over 90% memory in use when the errors occur. Several programms crash and hang when the memory is full.
Before I enabled OS optimization, everything ran just fine.

There is no option in Samsung Magician, but how can I undo the OS optimization feature? I cannot even resize the window to make a screenshot of all settings.

I currently have:

  • hibernation mode : enabled
  • virtual memory : shortcut
  • indexing service/search : enabled
  • prefetch/superfetch : disabled
  • write cache buffer : enabled
  • write cache buffer flushing : enabled
  • power options : shortcut
  • system restore : shortcut

How can I undo the changes that Samsung Magician has made? I can only select an other preset scheme.

screenshot to show that there is no 'undo'. The refresh icon in the bottom is to refresh drive information.

The tool configured my pagefile size to 100 MB. I only have 4 GB and this gives me an unstable OS. Resetting the OS to manage the virtual memory itself resolved it.
