After I updated Windows 10 Pro 64-bit to the October 2018 version 1809 update. I can't set custom size or no paging file in virtual memory properties in drive C:. By after set custom size or no paging file and restart computer. Has system properties pop up on start up. And pagefile.sys in drive C: still automatically manage paging file size.

    I can confirm this. 1803 VDI with latest updates and pagefile creation error. This is really bad because its our PVS VDI so pagefile on c-drive is IMPOSSIBLE. But now we have no page file at all.

    I already created microsoft support case for this in which I ask when they will release the patch for 1803.

    I will confirm that kb4476976 installation has resolved the issue for me and I no longer am forced to have my page on C: on my desktop.

    I can confirm this is also an issue with the latest updates to 1803.  Started experiencing it today after fully updating.  No issues prior.

    killing hotplug isn't really a solution per say, but a workaround, and a pain to try to dig up without great success with what's been posted.

    I don't want to disable sata hotplug support, I WANT hotplug support. I know enough to not eject my paging drive. I want to disable this "feature" which has much more responsibility being a warning pop.

    I'm also a systems engineer and this breaks VDI in windows because of vmware horizon view generating a scratch disk on build. It's a bigger issue than many people likely realize.
