kovacsa Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi All, I'm having a strange problem I've never encountered before. When I first boot my Win10 machine, I have about 17-18GB of disk storage space. After about 2 hours (often less), my page file has grown considerably to the point where my storage is out of space and my system crashes. A reset is the only option at this point. I'm not running anything too RAM intensive (Chrome always takes up the most memory and I'm only doing desktop work), so I'm not sure what's happening. I suspect there may be a memory leak, but am not sure how to detect it or what would be causing it. I don't suspect malware or such as I have done scans recently. I have the option, "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" check in the System properties. This happens everytime I use my machine. I have 8GB of DDR4 RAM and and 240GB SSD. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Try setting your Page File to a 4GB Custom Size - as example below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonPeters Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 This is how you manage page file size in windows 10 Right click on This PC and open Properties. Select Advanced System Properties Click Advanced tab Under Performance, click Settings Under Performance Options, click Advanced tab Here under Virtual memory pane, select Change Uncheck Automatically manage paging file size for all drives Highlight your system drive Select Custom size Change the Initial size value and the Maximum size value to a higher value Click Set Finally, Click Apply/OK all the way. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
