I thought Windows had a generic subsystem for "warming up" frequently used apps for faster launches.


People don't use Office frequently, and then when they do it's slow and a bad look. So they will cheat in a way that prioritize their own software, and then every one else will then that feature loses all value, as all programs launch on startup as not to be "slow"


Only for OS components, I think?

SuperFetch was supposed to work with any app. It never seemed to have much effect IMO.
