Question Virtual Memory not creating a pagefile on the drive I select it to

[yungcri]

This is how my Virtual Memory allocation is setup.
I have Set it and restarted my system multiple times.
My issue is here: when I boot up my computer, instead of creating a pagefile on my nvme drive, it creates a 17000 mb pagefile on my D: drive, which is the slowest of all my drives.

What is going on? How can I fix this??

Windows treats the A and B drive letters differently.

A and B are leftovers from long ago...floppy drives. Other things, like Indexing, also do not work on those drive letters.

Change the drive letter for the M.2 drive to something else, and it will work.
Of course, changing that drive letter may impact whatever data or applications you have on that drive.

Do not use drive letter A:
It is reserved for removable floppy drives.

Also 35GB for pagefile is extremely excessive value.
Set it to 1GB initial 16GB max.
For best performance you want pagefile as small as possible, but with ability to grow, if necessary.

You're a legend. Thanks a million.
