How to Increase Page File Size in Windows 10

How to Increase Page File Size in Windows 10
On Windows 10, the "page file" is a hidden file on the drive that works as memory, and it acts as an overflow of the system memory, which holds data for apps currently running on the computer.
If you increase the size of the paging file, it can help boost system performance.
To modify the page file to increase performance on Windows 10, use these steps:
Open Settings.
Click on System.
Click on About.
Under the "Related settings" section, click the "Advanced system settings" option.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under the "Performance" section, click the Settings button.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under the "Virtual memory" section, click the Change button.
Clear the "Automatically manage paging files size for all drives" option.
Select the Custom size option.
Specify the initial and maximum size for the paging file in megabytes.
• Quick tip: Typically, it is recommended to use a number one and a half times the total available memory for the "Initial size" and three times of available memory for the "Maximum size" when possible.
Click the Set button.
Click the OK button.
Click the OK button again.
Restart your computer.
After you complete the steps, the device will restart, and you should notice a performance boost while using apps. The performance will be more noticeable when configuring the page file in a Solid-State Drive.
If the new settings are causing issues or performance does not improve, you can always revert the changes with the same instructions outlined above. However, on step 9, select the System managed size option and check the "Automatically manage paging files size for all drives" option.
