Windows Prefetch is a Windows feature designed to improve application startup performance.
It stores information about programs that have been executed and helps Windows optimize loading times.
Prefetch files may contain:
- Application name
- Execution timestamps
- Run count
- Referenced files
- Loaded DLLs
Prefetch can help understand:
- Which applications were executed
- When programs were launched
- System activity history
Currently learning how Prefetch files are structured and analyzed.
