I was having "low memory" issues during gaming, so I increased virtual memory. -I have 8gb of physical RAM, OS on C: drive (SSD) and most programs on E: drive (HD).
-Using most recommended methods I've found, I increased the page file size on the C: drive to 24576mb (3x my physical RAM) for both min and max.
-After making this change the computer starts up very slow. Windows 10 loads up as normal, but icon pictures take several minutes to load. Same goes for opening any programs from the desktop shortcuts, and autorun-at-startup programs.
-After hours of trial and error of combinations of page file sizes, C: drive only, E: drive only, etc etc, the only way to get things to run "normally" is to revert to having WIndows automatically manage paging file sizes for all pages, as it was in the default setting. This of course causes "low memory" errors again, which only happen when I try to play games.
What's happening?
