I think this is one solution. I really dont know if it works, but i am testing it. But: 1- Go to " computer management" , open your explore and choose the " this pc" and after click in “manage” 2- When " Computer management" is open 3- Choose disk management 4- You have to see your SANDISK. 5- Format it, only next, next … 6- After formated, click in “Properties” 7- there is a folder named “READYBOOST” 8- then choose this for "dedicated this device to “readyboost” I think this is the way to turn this on.

I have received additional information regarding the ExpressCache Windows 10 issue. When updating from any version of Windows to Windows 10 some of the core components of ExpressCache are removed. This results in the uninstall issue customers are seeing. The ExpressCache uninstaller is failing to find components it expects to find resulting in a failure of the uninstall. Unfortunately this uninstall failure prevents a reinstall of the ExpressCache software. We are working with Condusiv to create a tool that will reinstall the components that were removed during the Windows 10 update process. We expect to have this tool available by the end of the month.
If you have not yet upgraded to Windows 10 you can uninstall ExpressCache then upgrade to Windows 10. Once you are running Windows 10 you can install and run ExpressCache normally. Additionally ExpressCache can be installed as expected on a fresh install of Windows 10 since the issue only occurs in the Windows 10 upgrade process.
We apologize for the inconvenience and again we expect to have a tool that will reinstall the missing components that were lost in the Windows 10 upgrade process by the end of the month.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Thanks for your news but this has been going on since Windows 10 was released and I am sure that the solution won’t fix everybody’s problem that was created because SanDisk becuase they didn’t test this product with Windows 10 before it was released. What will you be doing for those people? Will they have to raise more tickets and wait even longer.
Please make sure that when you have a solution it is well documentred and that you also post what actually has to be removed to make the install work properly so that the more technical people can manually fix it if the Condusiv solution doesn’t work for them.
I am sure that Condusiv will come up with a solution that works - I know the company way back when the original company ( Executive Software ) was formed by Craig Jensen. Executive Software and the company that I was working for at the time were both creating DEC Vax disc software. Executive Software ended up with Diskeeper, we ended up selling our product to them. They have some really clever and good people working for them.
Hello, This is my first post to this messageboard and have been following it for a couple days. As you can guess, I am here because of my recent upgrade to win 10 and it’s effect to my beloved readycache ssd. Although I do not offer a solution today, I only wanted to voice my concern to Sandisk so they are aware of the MANY people in this mess. All of these people, along with myself, are patiently waiting for a solution to this problem. Your timely response will be very well received. Thank You… Mr_Potatohead.
I was able to get ExpressCache running on a fresh install of Windows 10. I did get an error when trying to install that the ReadyCache SSD was not detected. I rebooted the machine and then tried installing again and the install finished as expected.
Rebooted and ssd shows as unallocated. Still getting the same error.
(Also ssd is probably not broken as it can be formatted and drive shows up as normal. Checked for errors. Accessible and functioning. Then deleted volume to get unallocated status.)
Agreed if the SSD can be formatted and is seen by normal windows tools then the SSD is not likely the problem. Is this a full fresh install of Windows 10?
My cache is down too after Win10, so i also installed PrimoCache and it almost works fine, my pc now can boot in 35 sec. insted og 2½min. but only if its a reboot ! - when i start on cold it still takes 2½ min. to boot so i seems like its not using my cache when it starts cold, do you have the same problem ?
the issue was described pretty well by slotmonsta. It does not sound to me like support is running or hiding or telling management there is no problem. slotmonsta stated the issue was escalated to the highest level and the issue occurs during Win 10 upgrade only due to components being removed by Windows. slotmonsta also clearly stated they expect a fix to be released by the end of the month so not sure why you think sandisk support is trying to hide the issue. that simply does not make any sense.
We are distrusting the support process because there seem to be a significant disparaty between what we are told and how things get solved. On top of that we are repeatedly seeing lousy actions taken by sandisk - its become an expected trend. Everyday you have new people signing up just to push the issue forward hoping to see a solution. That’s why we criticize the process.
You don’t seem to appreciate sandisk support being criticized. Since when criticism is a problem. Why would it be a problem. Its the customer’s voice that get things moving forward. We have seen that before here. This is what happens with lack of quality supervision. You have lost sight of the context, buddy.
Its for your own good. The criticism is for your own good. Its like medication to build better sense so that in the future we customers can sit back chill out and watch these issues get solved in a reasonable manner without us having to get involved.
