If the custom size you set is too small, your system might run out of virtual memory during memory-intensive tasks (like gaming), leading to crashes. Some games, like Battlefield 2042, are known to have memory leaks or high memory usage. A system-managed paging file can better handle these situations.
Virtual memory uses disk space to simulate additional RAM. When your physical RAM fills up, Windows will start using this disk space to keep things running smooth. However, if it’s misconfigured, you can run into problems like crashes or performance drop-offs.
