Answer 1

There's no disk usage mode.

I said, as some of the apps are loaded in the disk, you may face some high disk usage.

Hi Aries147,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

You should let Windows manage your Virtual Memory, you should not add more, doing that can cause bluescreens, it serves no purpose and will not improve system performance

Virtual Memory is not the same as RAM since drive access is a lot slower than access to real Physical RAM and its only purpose is if your system runs out of physical RAM

Answer 3

Hi Aries

You can set the VM size as per your wish. It acts somewhat same like RAM.

The more RAM you have, the better performance you get.

But if you want Windows to manage it's size, I recommend to keep it system managed.

Answer 4

It may increase the performance.

But make sure you keep it under some limit (maybe 20 or 40 GB)

It's okay even if you keep it more, but it will consume that much disk space and may lead in mode disk usage.
