This is precisely why I run Smart Game Booster 4 just before starting SH4. I have customized it to end processes and a few services that are not needed by the game, including updates and some monitoring features. You can tell it exactly what to stop and what to ignore. The effect is to free up more memory taken by processes that are not needed. After closing the SH4, all I need to do to restore the system as it was prior to the Boost process is to left click on the Game Booster icon, left click on Restore, and everything goes back to where it was. I've been using it for months now, and before that GameBooster 3, with no complications. It works well on my Win7 OS. Can't say what it might do on WIn10. It is a free download, but I don't have the link. I'm sure it will show up on a search.
