Force enabling ReadyBoost on fast computer

Is ReadyBoost a feature available on your PC? As in, it's on Windows Vista or above? I'll assume that the answer as yes because you woulnd't otherwise try to look up this question if it wasn't the case. But the reason I ask is because it is enabled by your system using the emdmgmt.dll and if you don't have it, then you're either missing the DLL or it is corrupted. Your best bet would be to do an online search for the DLL and add it to your system directory. Be careful of which site you download it from as many DLL replacement sites will contain bloatware or adware.

If you're referring to the registry key not exising, you could theoretically add it manually here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EMDMgmt

Hello, BoscoChungYT. Thank you for your patience.

Could you send me a screenshot as to how it looks like on the screen? :)

Hello

Thanks for responding. I have an issue that there is no option to tick the box that says Do Not Retest This Device.

Hi BoscoChungYT,

Welcome to Microsoft Community :)

It's my pleasure to help you today.

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this.

Please try to follow the steps below accordingly:

Step 1: Insert USB flash drive in your USB port directly, not on a USB hub. Make sure the USB is installed properly and close the AutoPlay window that might pop up.

Step 2:

Open This PC, right click on your USB flash drive and select Properties.

Step 3:

Select ReadyBoost tab and tick the box that says Do Not Retest This Device.

Step 4:

Start search and type regedit. This will open the Registry Editor.

Step 5: (you could visit the source link below for a more detailed steps)

Navigate to the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EMDMgmt

Enable readyboost through the registry editor.

The registry editor, on this particular key includes all USB drives you ever connected on your computer.

Step 6:

Double click on WriteSpeedKBs and change its value data to 1000 (Decimal) or anything larger than that.

Step 7:

Double click on DeviceStatus, and modify the value date to 2.

Step 8:

This step might not be required, depending on your device. Right click on the blank space in that selected USBfolder and click on QWORD (64 bit) Value and after that right click to rename the value to SpeedReadKBs and press enter. Now double click on that file and change the Value Data from 0 to 1000 and then press OK.

Step 9:

Exit the Registry Editor, locate your flash drive in This PC, tight click on it, select Properties and navigate to ReadyBoost.

You might have to ask Windows to test this device again, and this time the window will present with the options to enable Readyboost.
