  3. Increasing virtual memory on set of AVD sessions

    Hello everyone

    I have a customer for whom we have provisioned 80-90 numbers of Azure Virtual desktops in Azure pooled environment.

    After we put it in production, users faced performance issue with slowness of system and overrun of application based buffer size. When I drilled down into some logs, i saw this is somehow connected with virtual memory.

    I checked the virtual memory of the machines and saw for 8GB RAM is set with 1GB of virtual memory (against the suggested to set it atleast of 1.5 times of the memory of machines) ie. 1024x8x1.5 = 12,288 MB.

    Now i want to set this new virtual memory sizing on all the 90 machines. Can I somehow automate this using azure or powershell so that this can be resized to all the AVD machines in the Host pool. Please advise on this

    Thank you

    Nik

    increasing of virtual memory

    Hi,

    You should let Windows handle the Virtual Memory as it will increase or decrease its size on the fly (as needed). Increasing virtual memory "might" allow some programs to run more efficiently (large memory consuming programs such as Photoshop). However setting
    the virtual memory too high can significantly slow down your computer.
