[Autogenerated] Let's start by looking at page file
information that we can set up here in Windows.
So here's about your pc which I'm searching just by clicking
the start button here And in this location here we need to find
the advanced settings somewhere.
So they're always moving around.
But here's advanced system settings here on this current
version of Windows 11 and we get to these classic dialogue and
then you can see there's performance,
let's click settings again and then advanced and this is what we get.
We have these two pieces where the bottom one is about the page
really we can click change to see what's going on.
So currently I have two drives or two partitions on this particular system.
You can see that by default.
The setting that he's shown here is automatically managed
managed page file size for all drives, which is the default,
which means the Windows provides its own values for the sizes of the
page file and I'll describe what that means in the next video but
for now we can uncheck that and then for each one of these
partitions we can decide what we want.
So for example,
currently the partition here has no paging file and that's okay
but we can change that either to make it a system managed size
to let Windows figure out the best numbers to use or we can
select some custom size.
We can select the minimum value such as one gigabyte and let's say some maximum,
such as um let's say 10 gigabytes and then you can click set to
make that happen when you restart the system.
This is going to be taken into consideration.
It's also possible by the way to run Windows without any page file on any drive.
So it's possible to say no paging file on any drive.
I don't want to use the page file.
Maybe I have lots of RAM and I don't need the backup services of a page file,
but this is where we can set things up.
Usually I would recommend you stick with automatically manage page five Science,
which will explain the next video, what that exactly means.
By the way.
As usual, you can just go ahead and open some command window.
You can look at what's going on here in the root directory.
Look for page file dot CS.
Normally you won't see it because it's a hidden file.
So if you want to see that, you can try something like this,
you can use deer slash slash a.
H, which shows all the hidden files.
And now you see that we have page file dot C which is right here.
And this is the current size of the page file,
it's not the maximum size but it is the current size that has been set
because currently this system is configured to use automatically and Windows
has decided at this point in time that the current,
which is this one, that's the current size of the page file.
But of course it can change and I'll explain later on why this might change.
