are they set as non-removable drives in BIOS too?

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.

2019-01-02T16:59:25+00:00 Both my drives are shown as Fixed hard disk in System Information from Administrative tools.
I am using a Acer Veriton workstation that originally came with windows 7, later windows 10 was installed and updated to 1809.
When I select the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" icon in the system tray, Windows 10 displays the options to Eject both my fixed spindle and solid state drives.
Although windows knows my drives are FIXED, components of the O/S are not finding (or bothering to look for?) that info and assuming that they are removable.

I have an old 120gb ssd I use for caching and temp files as a "beater" ssd instead of flogging my m.2 with the cycles.
Ryzen 1700, x370 asrock taichi mobo.
asmedia 106x sata controller 3.2.3 driver
Drives not seen as removable, cache enabled.

Check your BIOS setting for SATA drives configuration, make sure you select "non-removable" drives for the drive(s) you want your page file to be created on.
Hope that helps some.
Сhecked my drives just in case. All are "Fixed" and write caching is enabled in settings. Still waiting for fix from Microsoft.
