Windows 10 created a temporary paging file.. popup every time system starts ????????

[ViRuS2k]

I have tried to set a custom size page file on my new 128gb corsair ssd gtx pendrive as its super fast,

and want to take the ware and tare off my os ssd bootdrive.

---

but everytime i change it from system managedd to none on c drive then select the corsair ssd then select custom and reboot system, im followed up with this issue pop message,
and the pagefile is still on c drive

the error popup is :

windows created a temporary paging file on your computer because of a problem that occured with your paging file configuration when you started your computer. the total paging file size for all disk drives may be somwhat larger than the size you specified....

im like WTF
its not to hard to set this as i have done it in the past loads of times but this time windows 10 just wont do it and refuses to set it up on any other drive than my C drive and only under system managed box ticked.. :/

im puzzled lol

*side note for thought, even if i select all drives and select NONE, then reboot the system, i still have the popup and pagefile still working even though i selected no page file for any drives :/

Removable devices are initialised after the system initialises virtual memory so the device doesn't show as present when Windows tries to work with it and defaults to the C: drive.

There are ways to hack USB and removable storage drivers earlier in the chain but with Windows 10 that can cause other issues.

If you configure the page file to initial size 1GB and maximum size to 8192-32768MB depending on how much SSD space you have and how heavy use you make of big applications it should minimise writes to the SSD, take up as little room as possible and maximise performance and compatibility.

Just leave it on the SSD, you're never going to notice any reduced 'wear and tear'.

Not to be rude, but it should be fairly obvious that system-critical components like virtual memory don't really belong on removable devices.

thanks guys for the information
i thought that at first was why it was having issues but still does not explain why if i select no page file on all drives that the same popup comes up and says that c drive is still using a pagefile lol
