Windows 10: Windows 10 virtual memory

So I've got 32GB of RAM, 38% of it is used, still Windows thinks it necessary to wreak havoc on my poor HDD instead? That poor baby's moaning and groaning away at 100% while running some memory intensive programs, meanwhile my RAM which is specifically designed for that task remains unused. And on top of that it slows down my sytem.

The HDD's got less space available than the RAM for crying out loud mostly because Windows thinks the HDD is it's dump. So there should be no reason to favour it over the RAM.

And I don't want to disable virtual memory, I have nothing against virtual memory, I think it's great, and it's probably even more great for people with less RAM or whatever, but how do I stop Windows from using it until like let's say at least 80% of my RAM is used?

So please no generic answer as to how to disable virtual memory, I want some kind of hack or whatever that can change Windows' behaviour in this regard.

Thank you!
