Hi MDL, Each time when my Windows 8.1 (with Update) boots up, it will create a pagefile.sys on my SSD. I have disabled the page file for my SSD and enabled it to create it on my HDD. But, Windows does not give a s**t about that. As you can see in the attached images, I have selected "Geen" (None) for my C: and E:, and let the system manage it on D:. When checking in Tskmgr.exe it also shows that my C: is a page-file disk. Is there a way to fix this? PC Specs: 128GB Samsung SSD 840 PRO 1TB Hiatchi Drive 500GB External HDD 6GB DDR RAM @ 1333MHz Intel Core i5 750 Quad Core @ 2,67GHz Thanks!
You know you have to reboot once to let windows adjust the settings i guess you know Second is the D disk ntfs ? and you could try sfc scannow from elevated cmd to check if your system is not broken Greetz de andere hollander
I have indeed rebooted after changing the settings. All my disks are on the NTFS. This is a fresh installation of Windows 8.1, but I will run SFC anyway
Result: Code: PS C:\Windows\system32> sfc /scannow Beginning system scan. This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan. Verification 100% complete. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
Mhh that is a realy strange problem indeed i have the same setup and it is working well over here ! maybe you could check if the pagefile is realy on drive C with showing protected system files other wise my mind is blank on this one so let the pro's get in here good luck with it Greetz Base
Did that already, pagefile and swapfile are their. I really want to get rid of them since the reduce my SSD's lifetime...
How much RAM do you have in your machine? Did you try running without a page file? What model SSD? I have/had several SSDs and always deleted the pagefile. I have 16 GB RAM in my machine and do no heavy game playing or photo work.
Hiberfile should match your RAM in your machine, for laptops this is useful... for a desktop PC I would disable this.
My bad - looked at 1st, saw it wasn't English, and closed them. With 6 GB RAM probably should keep pagefile. Samsung Pro is a good SSD, I have 3 EVOs...
I think you missed what the issue is here. The OP he knows how to change the settings... it is just that when he reboots Windows ignores him and creates a pagefile on his C: drive. This is what he needs help with... getting Windows to save his preferences.
If you had read what I wrote, also may had tested that, you would have know that those is working just fine. And for sure, everything what you do to any of the Windows system files, you have to do that as Administrator and NOT as User! That should be known to any normal Windows user, except a Newbie, something the OP isn't!
Hi, I definitely know where and how to adjust the Pagefile settings. To keep it short; This is my page-filing setup: Even though I have this as my settings, Windows keeps creating a Pagefile on C: each time I reboot, I do not want this to happen, since that will reduce the lifetime of my Samsung 128GB 840 PRO. Everytime I reboot I get this error message (Googled the English version): This says basically: We ignore your settings and create a Page File on all of your disks, including you SSD. How do I force Windows to NOT create a pagefile on my drives, except D:. And; To change any page-file settings, you must be an Administrator, which I indeed am...
