    I moved my page file but apparently it's still present on previous dri


    I moved my page file to a different drive but according to WinDirStat, there's still a pagefile.sys on the previous drive. It doesn't appear in Windows Explorer even with hidden files set to show. How can I get rid of it? Thanks.

    :)

  2. Removal of One Drive from my computer.

    I have found that to attach a photo from my picture files to an e mail is not now as easy as it was with previous windows versions. Having apparently deleted One drive from my system, it still displays a page headed One drive with picture files etc when
    I try to attach a photo from this One drive file to an e mail, it does not respond.

    Please cananyboddy help.

    Regards Cliff

    Windows don't Start proparbly

    Lately my laptop doesn't start normaly. Start-up repair didn't help. I dried to fix it over command prompt.

    With dism.exe/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth I run into error 50.

    I dried to delete miniNT key but in this file wasn't in the location mentioned in some posts.

    I dried dism.exe/image:C:\cleanup-image/revertpendingactions but there I run into error 1639...

    I also dried bootrec .exe/mbr bootrec.exe/fixboot bootrec.exe/rebuildbcd

    But "the system cannot find the path specified"...

    I also dried to reset windows...

    I moved my page file but apparently it's still present on previous dri

    @THX1138
    To change that:

    • uncheck the “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives” setting.
    • click on the drive you want to move pagefile.sys to.
    • click on System Managed Size.
    • click Set.
    • click on the drive currently holding pagefile.sys (probably C*Smile
    • click on No paging file.
    • click Set.
    • click on OK.
