Windows 10: Windows 10 Memory management?

Windows 10 Pro, 32 GB memory, 24GB paging file, AMD 5700 XT graphics

In my normal workflow I have Lightroom and Photoshop open, each of which uses a lot of memory, and each of which is a PITA to shut down and restart when I'm working.
I also regularly use Helicon Focus and Topaz Denoise AI.

Frequently, when I have Lightroom and Photoshop open, and use Helicon, it fails, sometimes telling me it couldn't allocate some amount of memory. Other times it fails telling me it couldn't convert images in the Adobe DNG converter. Exiting from Photoshop "fixes" this, but...

I've always been under the impression that Windows 10 would manage memory and use the paging file when needed. Windows is recommending 4GB of paging, so I've got a LOT more (24GB) set. Shouldn't Windows be pushing some of what Photoshop is using off so Helicon Focus can use it? When this happens and I've looked in the Task Manager it usually seems to think there are still 4 - 5 GB of memory available.

Does anyone know if what's happening is what should be, and if not, how to improve how Windows handles memory? At the moment, things are just coasting, so Lightroom is only using about 4GB, Photoshop 8GB, Topaz Denoise 2GB. Total usage is about 21GB according to the Task manager...

Any ideas about getting things to shuffle in and out as needed so new things will run?

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files.

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
