    Is it safe to manage Virtual Memory Pagefile In Windows 10 and change settings or not


    On websites and videos I noticed people talk about changing settings for Virtual memory in Windows 10.They say it is ok to change the minimum and maximum size of the Pagefile physical memory also on the Virtual Memory box, uncheck the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box.So please suggest if it is safe to change such settings or not?Thank you

    :)

  2. Virtual memory not changing

    My guess at this stage is that you are missing one of the clicks perhaps on SET Manage Virtual Memory Pagefile in Windows 10 OR you are short of available free space on the drive OR there is something using a heavy amount of virtual memory and the 6.01 refers to available or IN Use Check as per the tutorial please

  3. 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?
