    I created RAMdisk 1 for the Google Chrome cache and pointed it to empty Cache and Code Cache folders to clear them every system restart. Then I placed them using a symbolic link and added them to my Google Chrome profile.

    2 for data

    I copy from a prepared folder with "deletion control"
    Local Extension Settings
    IndexedDB

    and also placed a symbolic link back into the profile.

    The file system is NTFS, the RAMdisk is fixed.

    so in result i have 2 disks

    Cache

    and

    Data - with autosaved when shutdown / reboot to "folder"

    The bug is that when watching any video in the YouTube browser, no matter what, a blinking scroll bar appears, like in the terminal, or it can blink the entire height of the page. This only happens when using AIM Toolkit. I tried installing SoftPerfect for testing, but it doesn't have this "bug" so I don't understand what causes it.

    Also, when using the exfat file system in the same environment, after a couple of reboots, I lost the saved content of the ramdisk.

    There seems to be an incompatibility between the AIM driver and the graphic driver. Is the graphic driver updated?
    And does this occur with dynamic ramdisks?

    I cannot explain the second issue but I keep that in mind.

    Latest exist nvidia driver.

    Not tested with dynamic ramdisk .

    The video itself works, but that "scroll" is annoying.

    especially when the video has black bars on the sides, it flashes on the left black bar.

    I'll try to make a video of this or screenshots to explain it more clearly.

    also one extra annoying , when create 2 or more ramdisk , it som times not remember volume name and can mix names

    example i have 2 volumes Cache and Data, and after reboot Data can mount as Local Drive or

    Cache
    Cache
