Clearing standby memory while downloading?

Post by HardernTim »

Hey, I have a rather simple question

Just wondering if it's OK to keep automatically clearing the standby memory whenever it fills up, while a big game/update is being installed (on steam for example) or is it preferred to wait until the installation is complete and THEN clear up the memory.
Or even, should I add these launchers like steam and origin to the exclusion list for this purpose?

Answers appreciated!

That depend on your game and system. If you feel the update is taking longe when flushing the standby memory then don't flush it.
There is usually no risk of corruption.
