Windows I/O Scheduler

The Windows I/O scheduler manages how data is read from and written to your storage device, like a hard drive or SSD. It organizes multiple requests for data to prevent delays and improve performance. Think of it as a traffic controller that prioritizes and sequences requests to avoid congestion. Different scheduling algorithms can optimize for speed or fairness, ensuring that your system responds efficiently whether you're opening files, running applications, or copying data. This process helps your computer run smoothly and quickly by managing the flow of data operations behind the scenes.
