For those who do not know, in Windows, users are often used for convenient work on the PC file paging. His location is usually hidden and located on a system disk, so those who are not particularly understandable in the structure of various programs are unlikely to know about its existence. Let's talk today and let's talk about this file and find out why he needs it to do with him, etc.
Essence of the paging file on windows 10
If we speak a more simple language, then this file is an extension of the operational memory of the computer device on which it is located. The main purpose of Page File.sys is to ensure uninterrupted operation of absolutely all programs that are on a computer device, and even if the physical memory is not enough for this.

Those who at least a little understanding the computer, for sure, knows that in all the processes that occur on the PC, not only the hard disk itself is involved, but also the RAM. It is logical to assume or even approve that the optimal version is when there is a lot of memory on a computer, worse - if on the contrary. It concerns this statement and one, and other memory on your PC.
The normal operation of RAM is hard to imagine without a paging file, which is almost always hidden (this function is initially done and default), because the usual surface user does not even know why it is intended and what to do with it, and therefore the likelihood of that he may accidentally get rid of such a file, great enough.
In the case when the RAM memory is on the outcome, that is, that is - that will end, the system of the computer device in automatic mode begins to transfer all the information to the hard disk (it is performed from RAM). This process occurs due to the need to ensure the smooth operation of all operations taking place on the PC, and so that applications by chance did not fly off and have not ceased, as it should be, to work.
The operating system, in fact, does not require user intervention in order to work with this file. Some users whoargumentally accuse this file in the braking of the processes on their computer, but it is nothing more than a stupid assumption and nothing more.
Page File.sys
In order to find the paging disk, the user needs to go to the program disk. There you can find it without problems only if the system displays not only the files that are hidden, but also system folders. If this display is missing. To enable it, you must activate this feature.
Different information data is saved on RAM. And it should be noted that such a memory is faster than, for example, a hard disk. When a user runs any application, the computer reads this information from the drive itself. It turns out that the census is happening to the operational type memory. According to the final, we can conclude that all information on the computer, which relates to the temporary, is stored on RAM.

When it happens that everything free space on the operational ends, the system independently determines which one of the available information "perplex" to the paging file under consideration. To speak in simple language, it is in its essence, a virtual type auxiliary memory. It turns out this is a certain assistant memory, so it does not have to doubt it. The paging file is a system, the main task of which is to prevent the departure of a wide variety of applications that you use on your PC.
If it happens that there are not enough space on RAM to ensure the full work of any application, the operating system discounts "responsibilities" on the paging file instead of closing or interrupting the operation of this application.
You must not forget that the speed of the drive, which is set to the operating system by an order of magnitude lower than the similar RAM speed, and that is why in some points. The work of all processes on a personal computer begins to dramatically decrease rather that it cannot but upset the user itself.
If this happens, then you know that the pumping file "takes on" all the functions of the operating system so that all applications work in normal mode.
Changing the size of the paging file
Happens like this. that the user decides to change the size of the paging file. Because, for some reason, it does not suit his size. Make it is easy, and you can, how to increase it, and do it at times less. Here only the need for need and desire plays. Let's consider in detail the process of resizing such a file:
- To begin with, you will need to find "Start", which, most often, is located in the lower right corner of your monitor. Now in the search bar you need to enter a "presentation setting".
- Found element, the user should only open and no more.
- In the "Virtual Memory" section, you will need to select the "Advanced" function, which will also need to edit, after pressing the Edit key.
- In the list of functions, opposite which the tick is, it will be necessary to remove the mark from the "Automatically choosing the volume of the paging file", after which it is possible to select a disk from the existing list and click the mouse button on the "Specite Size" function.

- The next step in this process will change the change in several parameters, which determine the amount of the file under consideration.
So you can change the size of the paging file and make it as you want.










Thanks for the instruction. Roll up from the computer, the paging file increased and everything worked. I, by the way, SSD discs
