This is something I'm aware is important in Linux. But Win10 has swap memory too, as my Rainmeter graph shows. As of now, I'm using 86% of my swap memory (16g of ram is only 44%).
The swap has run out a couple of times now. I get an error message and windows asks for permission to close whatever it thinks is the problem, to which it drops to 40% or so where I'd expect it to be. It grows back eventually. Restarts don't help.
I'd like to monitor this behavior myself. That said, I don't know anything about windows swap, such as where to find what's using the Swap memory. Found a tutorial on how to grow it, but I feel like that's too quick a response, it seems to me that if things were running normally I wouldn't need to do this, I'd like to diagnose. Any tips?
