Windows 10: 16GB RAM, no paging file set

From time to time I get thrown out of an online game. COD Warfare.

I have 16Gb RAM and have turned of the paging file so that everything runs in memory and is much faster.

Any risk of losing data is accepted.


I can only find reference to a solution that relates to incresing the paging file size which I do not want to use.

From all other views I have plenty of RAM free when running COD 9.5Gb and the other two apps barely use a Gb between them. Any ideas or is this simply a glitch.


Below is the detail from the Alert generated when this happens.

Page File

Set minimum and maximum to a constant number as suggested by others, that will help reduce fragmentation on the drive coz of different page file sizing.

Low performance after setting the paging file

This has been gone over many times here. Some programs require a page file
