Hi chapter7,

1. As Bala has mentioned, smart paging only occurs when there is a gap between minimum memory and startup memory, and the physical memory is not enough;
2. The location of smart paging can be checked here:
   
3. We do not need to configure the smart paging size, it is recommended to allow the system to manage the page file size when running Hyper-V.

Please check the following article for the detailed information about dynamic memory and smart paging:
