Title: Can I have virtual memory going on?
Post by: hgdagon on September 04, 2018, 04:48:51 AM

Currently, Windows shows 0MB of virtual memory. Instead, I would like it to make a swapfile on the flash drive of at least 1GB. Any way I can do that?

You can use swapadd (http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/) to add a pagefile.

swapadd C:\pagefile.sys 1GB 1GB

Thanks a lot for the answer. I'll give this a try and comment back. My slight concern is that it looks like I would have to run the command during every boot.

Yes, that right you need to do it after booting.

Sadly, this doesn't work. I added the command to autorun - it did nothing (Yes, I'm sure the autorun is being processed), I ran command manually - still nothing. Manually unticking "Autamtically manage..." and adding a pagefile requires restart, and it won't be saved. I need a build time solution. Any compatible plugins for that?

for x64 olof's swapadd works great.

for x86, I must goto x:\windows\system32\SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe/Settings/Advanced - Change/
Select Drive/ Select Custom Size / Set Initial, Set Max / Set / OK.
It may ask to overwrite existing pagefile.sys <-- select yes.
pagefile will now work with x86.

I would like to have pagefile available @x86 Win10pese upon boot.
So far it has eluded me, As it is on the backburner, I have plenty of workarounds to get desired result.
Happy Baking.

Hm... I used the x86 version. Does it not work in win7x86?

Um... No? That's what I described above, and it requires a restart, so it won't be saved. I've tried that before posting. :sad:

I forgot to mention that the error code I'm receiving is "Page file creation failed: An invalid parameter was passed to a service or function as the second parameter". I've tried passing 1GB, 1G, and simply 1024, but the result is always the same. Any ideas?

Well, report it to the author of the tool.
