Windows 10: Windows 10 1809 update can't set no paging file in Virtual Memory

After I updated Windows 10 Pro 64-bit to the October 2018 version 1809 update. I can't set custom size or no paging file in virtual memory properties in drive C:. By after set custom size or no paging file and restart computer. Has system properties pop up on start up. And pagefile.sys in drive C: still automatically manage paging file size.

USB memory disk as a paging file for virtual memory?

Hi,

I want to know your opinion about usb memory disk as a paging file for windows virtual memory.

I am trying to set paging file on usb memory disk, but it is looks windows don't like it and simply ignore it and create paging file on my c:\ drive. It is looks like paging file is created on usb memory disk, but when I check, there is no swap file on usb memory disk. The usb memory disk still empty.

Anyone have experience on it?

Regards,
Arto.

 

USB memory disk as a paging file for virtual memory?

Well, I have actual experience & tried it on USB 1.0 stuff...

I tried it years ago on Windows XP, using a SanDisk card via an external USB reader for it (by SanDisk, all USB 1.0 stuff)...

Not EXACTLY the same, but not worth it...

E.G.-> Too slow of a medium apparently, because once I tried it? Well, it got me TONS of read/write errors as well, often corrupting the SanDisk memory card.

APK

P.S.=> VISTA is supposedly going to be able to use USB memory sticks in this capacity OR one like it (extending your system RAM on the mobo), but most likely USB 2.0, because the speed for it is better than what I tried it on (USB 1.0)... we will see how it works out then, once it releases & folks try it... apk

 

low virtual memory?

Your virtual memory is your page file, go to Control panel...... system..........device manager ......advanced and check your page file settings..... is it set to windows managed?
