Exclude an exe from superfetch/prefetch

Hi!

As I know it prefetch/superfetch creates .pf files for all executables that were previously runned.

As such I don't want windows to make a specific executable's .pf file through prefetch because I don't want to disable  prefetch entirely for this.

Any help would be gratefull.Including registry edits if an entry could be successfully made that excludes the exe.

    U know what mate,I reinstalled my Windows 10 a lot just for the sake of running games like these fine with no crashes cuz I don't like tiniest of crashes I face and for that I just blow lots of time and brain just for fixing a little but frequent crash like this.

    No problem. If you really want to get this fixed, you can always try reinstalling the OS from scratch to see if that clears up the issue. Installing Windows 10 is relatively quick these days, especially on an SSD. what takes times rebuilding is reinstalling all your programs.

    Yes, gflags remains running. You can disable it by running gflags /p /disable DarkSoulsIII.exe.

    If no dump was created, then I say its time to call it quits on this. Heap corruption analysis is not really my forte anyways. I can do low-level but at this point we are going down a rabbit hole of complexity and I dont want to sacrifice your system stability chasing this one.
