    Hi, Viveksingh1987! My name is David an independent advisor and I am here to help you.

    You should leave enabled the option "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" so that the system takes care of the size, so if it is required it will increase or decrease the size of virtual memory.

    If you want to calculate the size and modify it manually, see the following link, it is well explained:

    https://www.geeksinphoenix.com/blog/post/2016/0...

    "There is a formula for calculating the correct pagefile size. The Initial size is one and a half (1.5) x the amount of total system memory. The Maximum size is three (3) x the initial size. So let's say you have 4 GB (1 GB = 1,024 MB x 4 = 4,096 MB) of memory. The initial size would be 1.5 x 4,096 = 6,144 MB and the maximum size would be 3 x 6,144 = 18,432 MB."

    Note: This is not a Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate and secure information. Beware of advertisements on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as PUP (potentially unwanted products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

    Let me know if the shared information has been useful or if you still need more help, I will be waiting for your answer.
