Set Paging File Size in Windows
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- The fast and easy way to set your page file size in Windows. This works in all modern versions of Windows including Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
Setting a manual page file size in Windows can be helpful as it allows you to control the amount of disk space that is allocated for virtual memory. This can be useful in optimizing system performance, especially on systems with limited space. By manually setting the page file, you can ensure that there is enough space for the operating system to store the data it needs to temporarily move from RAM to the hard drive or SSD. This can prevent the system from slowing down or running out of memory when handling demanding tasks.
Additionally, setting the page file initial size and maximum size to be the same value prevents Windows from having to change the size of the file while the computer is being used, leading to possible degraded performance and page file fragmentation.

What do you keep your Windows page file set at?
⚠ WARNING: If you are unsure of what you are doing, it is not recommended to set your paging file to zero or to a number lower than the recommended Windows amount. Doing so may cause your computer to no longer load Windows properly. ⚠
@@XLSTechHELP PLS!! I DID IT AND RESTARTED MY PC AND NOW IT JUST SHOWS BLACK SCREEN? HOW DO I FIX THIS?🙏
@@11luky11u fixed it yet? try launching in safe mode and change the setting back to default
@@11luky11 did u ever find a fix
Rip those who got blue screen error while rebooting and then there is no more options than reset your pc 😅😢😅😢 i had to reset my pc after putting these values and never put same values in both 🎉
Placed both values on both, but not 16 rather my ram times 1024 times 2
Made everything work well, even faster
@@martinjugolin2087 uff, but I lost 8 big games of mine 🙁
@@Fonix.Shorts try what I did
@@martinjugolin2087 I already installed GTA 5 in my pc 3 months ago but I lost my 8 big pc games and 4 small games 😶
@@Fonix.Shorts was it worth it?
For the standard user (also gamer) keep it at default values. If set wrong this can lead to system instability or blue screens.
On automatic made everything go slower
@@martinjugolin2087 so did you disable it or give it to 16 gb?
@@foon1638 I chose the option that says administered by the system
Or put your ram x 1024 in both boxes
Also make sure to have atleast 8gb free of disk space
@@martinjugolin2087 couldn't find "administered by system"
@@foon1638 sorry, "system managed size"
The truth is.
I would only work on low end pcs/laptops.
Virtual memory (VM) and paging file size can impact performance, but not always positively.
If RAM is insufficient: VM can prevent crashes by using disk space when RAM fills up. Increased paging file size may help if this is a frequent issue.
If RAM is enough: VM is rarely used, so a larger paging file won't help. It might even slow things down due to unnecessary disk access.
Very grateful for your time and help 🙏 ❤️
so i have 32 Gb of ram do i enter a different number than you?
he had 16gb ram. You would have to put 32768 mb because u have 2 times as much as his. calculate it using 1024 x (number of GB ram you have) 32.
If u have 32 gb of ram why are you even here
WARNING ⚠
Please calculate how much VM your pc can handle, for example, if your ram is 8GB, Go to calculator and type 8 times 1024, and put the results in the paging, if you go over 8GB, You're screwed. Unless you have more than 8GB ram of course.
Bruh it wants me to put it in a numeric value so annoying my rust won’t start n I thought this would help
I have 64gb ram? What do I put
64x1024
very helpful ty
OK so I been doing this my whole afternoon, got me curious
I placed, in both boxes, ram times 1024 times 2
In my old pc (Intel 4gb of ram) was:
4x1024x2
Equals 8 with something
Placed in both boxes, accept and restart
Gave me more disk space, I had 20gb free now 30gb and made my games run faster
NO I'm not kidding, Intel 4gb
On my laptop of 8gb I chose the option that says "system managed size" also made things go faster, even made my crashing rdr2 finally run
Made RDR2 work, Intel 8gb of ram
The automatic option, the first one, made everything go slower
Ngl it was so good on automatic compare to when I set a customize size for 8gb
you don't know how much you've helped me bruh, my virtual memory after dual booting was 0, and i was doing all kinds of scans to understand why every application on my windows side is crashing, but then this helped me solve the problem I've been trying to solve this all day😭😭
Also why did we set virtual memory 16348 exactly??
Thanks for watching, glad it was able to help you get it solved! 👍
(16384 MB makes the page file 16 GB in binary)
Question, does it matter if u set the page file on an SSD? Been hearing its a bad idea or the opposite that it boots performance i have both an HDD and SSD
Nah its same
It's better to set it at ssd as it is faster than hdd
Wait didn't I just see a Minecraft vid for ur channel? So ur telling me u do ALL TECH STUFF, both IRL AND IN VIDEO GAMES?!
👍
Should i set it to all my drive or only sdd ?
HELP PLS!! I DID IT AND RESTARTED MY PC AND NOW IT JUST SHOWS BLACK SCREEN? HOW DO I FIX THIS?🙏
Hey, is that blue screen 😢
In that case I had reset my pc
Help me too 😢
I had 4 gigs of ram now 34 gb of virtual
Does it help our pc ?
It could lead to instability. Usually you keep it at standard settings, i.e. auto
and now what do i do my computer doesnt boot
How do we fix this
@@idkwha2putherejust restart manually
clear your cmos
Where did u get 16384 from ?
In case you're wondering about the numbers just know your ram size if it's 4,8,16,32.
If your ram is 16GB you just have to multiply it with 1GB = 1024.
4 x 1024 = 4096
16 x 1024 = 16384
Hey I have a few questions
1. Will this do any harm to my computer
2. Will this work with an external hard drive connected
3. How much storage will the system reserve
1: no
2: yes
3: whatever you want to set it to
Thanks
is this overclock?
No.
this did not help me at all
how to revert it bruh?
