Is there a way to force win11 to use a paging file?
Hello,
win11 typically manages the paging file automatically, but it can sometimes be tricky when there's limited RAM. One thing I’d try is manually setting the paging file size under the "Advanced System Settings" in the Performance options. Even though you’ve set a static size, Windows might not be using it as efficiently as expected. You can also check if "Let Windows manage my paging file size" is turned off. If that doesn’t help, you could try creating a custom size or move the paging file to a different drive to see if it improves performance. In some cases, tweaking the virtual memory settings can encourage Windows to use the paging file more effectively.
Hope it helps!
