You can now figure out what the size of your Pagefile should be, which needs to be just over the amount that is being used. Now that we know what the size needs to be so that the system has optimal performance and the storage space is not compromised, let us dig into how you can change the Pagefile size.
You can set your Windows 10 to stop managing the Pagefile size and define the upper and lower limits yourself. Use the guide below to customize the Pagefile size.
You can now check that the Pagefile size has been set to the minimum value you have allotted, increasing to the maximum value over time. For mission critical systems, it is recommended that RAM should be increased so that the system can process data in RAM which is much faster than the hard drive. But for an everyday use system, you can use pagefile settings as recommended in this article.
Hi Eugene, yes we have been working the same way as you recommended from the good old days of Windows But for Windows 10, Microsoft seems to recommends things differently. Members Current visitors.

Solved: How to determine optimum pagefile size in XP? Thread starter Nemo Start date Dec 4, Status This thread has been Locked and is not open to further replies.

Sadly I have seen little if any improvement in boot or loading speed, nor does there seem to have been any reduction in the amount of disk paging which seems to go on in the background while the screen hangs :- How can I determine the best settings for the pagefile please?
I've read the MS knowledge base etc, but I'm really no clearer as to what to do - and a query to MS "support" merely pointed me back to the knowledge base JustJudy Judy. Joined Apr 4, Messages 10, Not to disregard your question, but when was the last time you defragged? Have you trimmed down your startup items in the system confuration utility? Do you delete temporary interent files, etc? A week ago, yes, and yes - regularly. Joined Apr 25, Messages 1, Computers that are running Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Windows Server usually must have a page file to support a system crash dump.
System administrators now have the option to create a dedicated dump file instead. A dedicated dump file is a page file that is not used for paging. Dedicated dump files can be put on any disk volume that can support a page file.
We recommend that you use a dedicated dump file if you want a system crash dump but you do not want a page file. To learn how to create it, see Overview of memory dump file options for Windows. By default, page files are system-managed. This means that the page files increase and decrease based on many factors, such as the amount of physical memory installed, the process of accommodating the system commit charge, and the process of accommodating a system crash dump.
For example, when the system commit charge is more than 90 percent of the system commit limit, the page file is increased to back it. This continues to occur until the page file reaches three times the size of physical memory or 4 GB, whichever is larger. This all assumes that the logical disk that is hosting the page file is large enough to accommodate the growth.
The following table lists the minimum and maximum page file sizes of system-managed page files in Windows 10 and Windows Several performance counters are related to page files. This section describes the counters and what they measure. The following performance counters measure hard page faults which include, but are not limited to, page file reads :.
Hard page faults are faults that must be resolved by retrieving the data from disk. Such data can include portions of DLLs,. These faults might or might not be related to a page file or to a low-memory condition. Hard page faults are a standard function of the operating system. They occur when the following items are read:. To set the paging file to the default size: Note: You must be logged on as an administrator to change the size of the paging file.
Quit all applications. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings in the Performance area. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Change in the Virtual Memory area. Click Custom Size. In the Initial Size box, enter a value equal to one and a half times the amount of the computer's installed RAM.
