Force DLL Unload

DLLs contain data for Windows applications of use and share among themselves. When a application is started, it tells windows to load, or cache, the DLLs that are linked to it into memory to improve performance. The problem begins when the application is closed, Windows leaves the DLL loaded into memory in case its needed again. Usually, the DLL isn't needed right away, and it just eating up memory and resources. Forcing windows to remove these from memory when the application is closed will keep your memory available to where you need it most, current applications.

To force the Unloading of DLLs, Open REGEDIT and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer.
Create a new Key called AlwaysUnloadDLL and set the default value to 1.

You may need to reboot for the changes to take effect.




Warning: Modifying Windows system registry or files may cause system instability and or loss of data. Perform these optimizations at your own risk. Im not responsible for loss of data or damage to your system.
