Cheat Disappears Mid-Game? Set Up ISLC (16 GB RAM)
On PCs with 16 GB of RAM, the menu or ESP can disappear after a while in-game. Windows keeps filling its standby list with cached memory until the game's memory gets paged out. Intelligent Standby List Cleaner (ISLC) empties that list automatically and has fixed the problem for many players.
Note
This is a workaround, not a guaranteed fix. The one value you need to adjust is Free memory is lower than, and it depends on how much RAM you have.
Install ISLC
- Download ISLC from its author, Wagnardsoft: wagnardsoft.com.
- Create a folder you'll find again, for example
C:\Tools\ISLC. - Extract the download into that folder and start
Intelligent standby list cleaner ISLC.exe.
Settings

| 16 GB | 8192 |
| 24 GB | 12288 |
| 32 GB | 16384 |
| 64 GB | 32768 |

Purge Standby list empties the list immediately whenever you click it. If ISLC ever affects a program you care about, add that program under Exclusion list.
If the timer resolution isn't 0.5
Look at Current timer resolution in ISLC. If it shows something like 0.997 or 0.499 instead of 0.5:
Open Command Prompt as administrator.
Run these commands one at a time, pressing
Enterafter each:bcdedit /set useplatformtick yes bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yesRestart your PC and check ISLC again. It should now show
0.5.
