READ THE FIRST RESPONSE FOR THE SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME! THANK YOU FOR READING! GOOD LUCK!
[System Properties] Windows created a temporary paging file.
Now let me just start by saying that I consider myself a somewhat advanced pc user, I know a lot about computers. Last night, I spent a good 3-4 hours trying to solve this issue and I couldn't figure it out. I spent so much time browsing through forums and trying to fix this problem, but I just gave up and decided that I would try today.
I understand the idea of virtual memory, and why the pop up is, well, popping up, to a certain extent. - However, that is not why I'm here.
Here is what I have tried so far - keep in mind that none of it has worked:
Regedit string below located @ - 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management'
Regedit: Editing the PagingFiles value\string - the 2 values after 'c:\pagefile.sys' are 0 0
I have tried giving myself access to hidden windows files and I have tried deleteing the pagefile.sys, located in Local Disk (C:)
I have tried every combination of Control Panel\System and Security\System\Advanced system settings\
[performance]settings\Advanced\Change. From custom size to system managed size to no paging file, nothing fixes this issue I have.
I have also tried editing the Regedit value\string so it was 'c:\pagefile2.sys', so it wouldn't overwrite the pagefile.sys file, it would just make a second pagefile - pagefile2.sys in the Local Disk (C:) root folder.
I have tried completely deleting the pagesile.sys in my (C:) root folder. Another way to get around it not overwriting the existing pagefile.sys whenever I try to set a Custom Memory Size, or whenever I choose System Managed, or even No Page File.
An important note here is that I have tried this Admin Rights Command Prompt line: sc config afs start= disabled and I got this error code: [SC] OpenService FAILED 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service. This has worked for most people, but not for me, unfortunately. I have also tried specific workarounds to my issue that relates to this command prompt line failing, still no fix.
The thing is, no matter what i try and do, whenever I restart my computer, the System Properties windows always pops up telling me that windows has created a temporary paging file. No matter what I do, this popup keeps showing up whenever I restart my computer, and when I look at the size of the 'Total paging file size for all drivers', it is always '0'
Another important note is that I have a hunch that it could be because I right clicked Local Disk (C:)\properties and under Security I deleted every other user\group besides my own user (Users *********-PC\Users) Because of a different issue
that I was having. Could this be causing my problem?
Thank you in advance for helping, I appreciate any help that I can get! I just stumped and it's really frustrating and annoying, I spent so much time on it last night and I just couldn't get it.. THANKS IN ADVANCE! Please ask questions, I will try my best to help you to help me haha
