Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
It is best not to manually set the amount of Virtual memory in Windows 11, let Windows manage that, and it will be a variable amount dynamically set depending on what you are doing on your PC, rather than setting a set amount manually.
If you do need to manually set that, then set minimum to 2GB and max to 16GB

That will be the most efficient setting for your system, you should not experience any problems with that setting.

Thank you.
That's exactly what I did. I set it to automatic regulation.
