How to get Rid of Increased Virtual Memory

Before I go into how to do this, let me dispel a possible misconception:

Virtual memory is dynamic. This means that Windows will use more or less virtual memory on the fly as needed by the system. It also means that if you are running low on space, Windows will use less virtual memory, although, if you are running that low on space, you have other issues as well *Smile.

In other words, by decreasing this size, you are really not saving the space that you think you are.

It is recommended that you allow Windows to manage this space unless you have a really good reason to change it (rarely necessary).

You can change the virtual memory settings like this:

Manage Virtual Memory Pagefile in Windows 10

Press Windows Key + R and type in the following:

%windir%\System32\SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe

Press ENTER

On the "Advanced" tab, click on "Settings" in the "Performance" section:





Click on Change
