Windows 10: ReadyBoost is disabled and I don't know how to enable it

Hello! Basically, I have a laptop with a ddr3 2GB ram and I found out that I can use a USB as RAM. I have a 32 GB USB 4.0 so it's better. I went to the USB drive's properties and chose ReadyBoost, but was surprised when it said: "ReadyBoost has been disabled by a Group Policy setting. An administrator can change Group Policy settings."I searched for it everywhere and couldn't find it although I am the administrator of this laptop. Maybe I was searching in the wrong place? I don't know... I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks!

The readyboost tab is missing but is enabled in services.why?

Hi,

Device compatibility is one of the reasons why the ReadyBoost tab is missing. Kindly provide the following answers to the questions below to further isolate the issue:

• What is the make and model of the flash drive that you are using for ReadyBoost?
• Have you tried inserting the flash drive to another USB port?

In the meantime, we suggest updating the driver for your USB drive. This will help us identify if the issue is caused by outdated drivers. Kindly follow the steps on this article to update it:

Can you insert a different SD card on it to check if the same issue will happen? Which version of Windows are you using on the other device where ReadyBoost tab appeared? Is it running Windows 10 as well? This will help us isolate if the issue is only happening
with the SD card or the computer itself.

Meanwhile, we suggest performing the System File checker as it can help detect possible corrupted or missing system files that can be causing the issue. Kindly follow the steps below:

• Open Cortana/Search.
• Type in Command Prompt.
• On the Search results, right-click on the best match for it and choose
  Run as administrator.
• On the Command Prompt window, type in sfc /scannow then click
  Enter on your keyboard.
• Restart the computer after the process, then check if ReadyBoost tab will appear.

Update us with the outcome.
