Man first of all appreciates all the answers you provided. You don’t understand how crucial this is for me, but one question remains: why are there three bars with new volume? I just received the first C, and on the side I see these numbers. Do those really matter? And what if the system resets everything back to default?
Other volumes represent distinct storage options. A system relying solely on one HDD will display C:\, which matches your situation. Adjusting the Pagefile size manually prevents it from reverting to its default unless you re-select the option. Changing the Pagefile size to a specific value locks the virtual memory allocated to the HDD, preventing it from growing unnecessarily over time. This approach might help since performance remains stable initially but declines gradually. It’s worth experimenting with this method. The Pagefile and virtual memory are essentially the same concept, just called by different names. Extra space on the HDD can become problematic if it grows too large, causing the drive to work harder—something you’d prefer not to happen. This issue would be less likely with faster storage like an SSD. Both Windows and games still require a Pagefile, so keep it enabled.
Can modifying the page file system on an SSD improve performance?
Depends on the system specifications and the nature of the problem. Generally, managing things yourself is acceptable unless the SSD has limited capacity and you have at least 16GB of RAM. In that case, reducing the PF size might help with troubleshooting.
To address the issue, it's advisable to begin by creating a separate thread with your system details and describe the problem you're encountering. This could involve other factors entirely.
