Question Paging file not being used

[Shaunj2000]

Hello, I have 32gb of memory and essentially all of it is being used because I am playing a very ram intensive game. Thus, I enabled a paging file for the drive where the game is located. However, when I'm running the game, I check on process monitor and its only using a little bit of the paging file, and the max amount of paging file it can use seems to be capped at exactly 5.5%. I'm pretty sure the game needs to use more ram as the gpu and cpu utilization is fairly low.

Windows has always created a pagefile by default on the drive it is installed on. No need to create more than one PF. So essentially now you have two? The second one hasn't been prioritised from the first and is why it's not being used.

Remove the pagefile you created and just have the one that was already there.
