Willy2 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 - Does anyone know a program that is capable of showing where on my HD the pagefile is located ? Something like what Defraggler does with it map of a drive. It will help me to tell whether or not Defraggler is right when it tells me I have no pagefile.

Moderators Nergal Posted July 11, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 11, 2016 See my PM ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

ROCKNROLL Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The pagefile file itself is located in C:/pagefile.ext (forgot what then extension was). It is a hidden file, so you will; need to enable "show hidden files" in Windows to see it. If you have a SSD and a ton or ram in your system, it is best to just disable the pagefile to prevent a lot of writes on your system (as well as hibernation if you don't use it, which is located in the same spot where pagefile is). I have 16gb ram and I have had pagefile disabled for ~2 years with no issue. I am a maintainer for Winapp2. I also have a open-source group on Steam. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/opencommunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted October 9, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2016 The only issue with disabling the pagefile on your system drive is you will get no memory dump files after a BSOD. Page file must be on OS drive Page file base allocation size must be > than installed physical RAM Windows Error Reporting (WER) system service should be set to MANUAL Page file should to system managed, OS drive Of course everyone is not interested in getting info after a BSOD Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trium Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 pagefile.sys must not be on C:\ also on other partitions/drives so you want, but the hiberfil.sys must be on c:\ so far as i know Versions of CCleaner Cloud; Introduction Ccleaner Cloud; Ccleaner-->System-Requirements; Ccleaner FAQ´s; Ccleaner builds; Scheduling Ccleaner Free Es ist möglich, keine Fehler zu machen und dennoch zu verlieren.

Moderators mta Posted October 9, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2016 @trium, that list of 'rules' regarding the pagefile that @hazelnut gave is ONLY if you want Windows to create the BSOD dumps. (I break all of those rules otherwise) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted October 10, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 10, 2016 The only issue with disabling the pagefile on your system drive is you will get no memory dump files after a BSOD. Also some antivirus software doesn't like it at all if there isn't a pagefile or if there's a custom pagefile that's sized too small, such as having memory related issues during a full system virus scan.

Willy2 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 @Necros: Auslogics Defrag will tell you where the pagefile is located. Even when its in 2 or more fragments. http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/ But I use the program for that one purpose only. Because I like Piriform's Defraggler much more. I use Defraggler - at least - once every day. System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!!
