In Windows 10, v1809 Superfetch is no longer listed as a service.
How can it be disabled - perhaps via the registry?
Thanks.

You can start/stop Superfetch service in administrative Command Prompt.
To start the service, run following command:
sc config “SysMain” start=auto & sc start “SysMain”
To stop the service, run following command:
sc stop "SysMain" & sc config "SysMain" start=disabled
Hope this helps!
