There are also those who live dangerously by advocating having no Pagefile at all. It is obviously better to clear all the Pagefile junk on shutdown, just like any other cache and re-start with an empty box, but the advantages may not be worth the disadvantages with a very large Pagefile, if any.
There are those who advocate that a Pagefile poses a security risk and the larger the Pagefile, the larger the risk. I have been clearing my Pagefile on shutdown for years, just like I clear my browser cache, history and cookies.īut with a Pagefile of 4-6 GB of RAM, perhaps even greater, then I agree there may be problems, mainly with shutdown times being extended to even a full minute. I suppose with only a small Pagefile of 1440 RAM, my problems are negligible. Here's where I found it if you are interested: Īnd some reading on the class itself so I could better understand what all it was doing: (v=vs.85).You wanted to know about the pagefile at shutdown, and if there are caveats (and there can be) that can go alongside doing so, so wouldn't you like to know beforehand? Could also save the casual reader from following "tweaking" advice they may decide to avoid. Does what it is supposed to as far as I can tell. Note, this is not my code entirely, I just found it online,dressed it up a little bit, and tested it on my Windows 10 workstation.
