Windows 8.1 experienced slowness following changes to the pagefile settings.
Your friend attempted to relocate the pagefile to another drive, but this caused performance issues and crashes when launching Google Chrome. The problem persists even after reverting the changes. Consider checking the disk settings or trying a different storage location.
Your friend turned off the pagefile setting. Restored it so Windows could handle management and restart.
Each section uses a distinct page file, and every application needs a unique logical location to operate. When the page file shifts, the corresponding address disappears, preventing the program from tracking its exact memory. This phenomenon is known as a memory leak. If your friend has an older backup, make sure to save it before altering the page file.
He doesn't have a backup unless Windows generated one automatically. If we need it, we can locate it and restore it.
If your friend has a restore point, he can use the instructions on this site to recover it. Windows often generates a restore point after you alter crucial files or applications. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/re...ows-8.html
