Windows (Page File):

  • In the start menu, type in "View Advanced System Settings"

  • Go to the advanced tab at the top

    • Under "performance", "settings"

    • In the "advanced" tab, make sure "programs" is selected

    • Click change under "Virtual memory"

      • Untick "Automatically manage..."

      • C: drive should have ~20k minimum initial size, max can be whatever you want

        • OR PLACE THIS AT 40k min, 40k max and don't bother doing the games drive part.

        • If you have >32GB, use equal to your RAM value. (i.e. 64GB RAM, 64000 page file min/max) unless you don't have enough space on your C: drive.

          • This only should be done if you don't bother with the games drive or the games drive is a HDD.

      • Games drive should have ~40k min, max is whatever

        • This can also be lower or even 0 but for stability of some badly coded games it is better to have it on (especially for memory leaks that will crash you).

      • Make sure you click set to apply your values.

      • Restart after all changes.

Extra RAM? (>=32GB):

  • Reduce CPU Load and latency by disabling memory compression

    • Open Windows Terminal as admin

    • Enter: Disable-MMAgent -mc

    • Then: Get-MMAgent

    • First one disables it, seconds one tells you if it's on or off
