Windows 10: Cannot set "No paging file". After restart it goes back to "Custom size"

I'm trying to shrink my C:\ drive so I can create another partition where I can have another installation linux, windows whateverI have 250gb free in my C:\ drive, but when I try to shrink, the available shrinking size is very low.Following the instructions mentioned in the top answer here - https://superuser.com/questions/1403035/why-is-the-size-of-available-shrink-space-is-only-13286-mb-on-250-gb-samsung-ssdI selected "No paging file" and restarted my PC. When I checked the option, it had gone back to "Custom size" selection.Any idea what I can do here?

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.

 

Paging File

Go to the page file settings and select custom size. Make the initial size the same as the maximum size. Then your page file will never become fragmented in the first place.

 

Microsoft Print to PDF - custom paper sizes possible?

Hi,

We suggest that you try to set the paper size of the exact document first. You can create a custom page size before you proceed with
Microsoft Print to PDF, it should auto-detect the paper size of the document.

To set the paper size in Microsoft Office:

• Click on the Page Layout/Page Design tab.
• Click on Size, and then in the options available, click on
  More Paper Sizes...
• Click on the drop-down arrow and scroll down to the last option which is
  Custom size. You will be able to customize your preferred paper size.
• Once done, click on OK, and then proceed with Microsoft Print to PDF.

Let us know how it goes.
