Disable hibernation if you don't need it.
The space reserved for this will take up a chunk of your SSD.
The command is powercfg /hibernate off
When loaded command prompt with admin rights.
Never, ever, disable the page file. 16GB of RAM is nowhere near enough to make it a real option.
To be honest, it can't be that important given that MS has provided the option to disable the pagefile. Allways good to test and tweak and experiment with YOUR pc and what works or doesn't i suppose. If in doubt then don't.
Except that it takes up ssd or hd space that you could use for other software. It's rather stupid, what if you only have 2 gb or 1gb of ram?, it's only going to make a small pagefile anyway, so what is the point of a large pagefile??. Each to their own but i don't need one simples as that really.
So you don't encourage people to understand how their system works? Like... The page file is a resource... how can it benefit me?If everything is left alone things just work. It's once people 'play' with settings things start to go problematic.

Yeah i agree if you're a novice, or new to pc's. Me, i have been around pc's for quite a long time so i'm not afraid to playIf everything is left alone things just work. It's once people 'play' with settings things start to go problematic.
Or a couple more ssd's maybe yeah (without a pagefile)Then better get a bigger drive then eh?
I don't but others can if they want one.you need the pagefile in windows.

Again about the commit limit... Would 4 GB physical ram plus a 12 GB page file satisfy most people (not just those that are surfing the net)? Or maybe 6 GB RAM and 10 GB page file...
It is about knowing what you need.
The difference is that a 16GB RAM + no page file will run lightning fast all the way up until 16GB memory is used and then it will collapse in a ball of thunder.
Whereas a system with 4GB RAM + 12GB page will run fine up to 4GB and then it will get progressively slower and slower whilst working its way up to the 16GB commit.
