Windows 10: Clear RAM without restarting Windows10

I am running x64Windows10 on my system. I work on several programs and files at a time.

I do not shutdown my laptop so that I do not loose any open tabs and programs. I just let it sleep.

But after few days my machine becomes sluggish.

I feel this is because RAM is full.

Now if I shutdown I will loose the programs, folders where I am working and after shutdown I have to open all programs to the state where I left.

Is there an option around this without shutting down or to save my session?


Thanks.

:)

 

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?

 

Windows 10- Does restarting the computer completely clear the RAM?

Does restarting the computer completely clear the RAM, and is there any difference between shutting down the computer and restarting it when it comes to clearing RAM? I ask because I am trying to retrieve a previous version of a Microsoft notepad file,
which as far as I know only existed in my computers RAM, and the computer has since been restarted.
