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.

    Hey Cut. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    That Custom size you're attempting is way too low. The minimum size should be 1.5 times the amount of RAM you have.

    See this guide for examples: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-manage...

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

    My PC has RAM 8 GB. And I want to move pagefile.sys from drive C to drive E. Because my drive C almost full. So I set up custom size page file in drive C to minimum size or no page file and use "System manage size" in drive E. but my setting not effective in Windows 10 Pro this version. In previous versions of Windows 10 Pro, I can move page file from drive C to another drive.

    You didnt' say in your first post that you were trying to move the paging file, which requires another procedure here:

    @Greg I'm sorry for what I told you too little. I try another with your procedure. but I can't set no page file in drive C in 1809 update of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Has system properties pop up on start up. And pagefile.sys in drive C: still automatically manage paging file size. I can reduce page file size to 500 MB

    As the first tutorial for moving the page file shows, you would not try to set a Page file for C, but instead choose No Paging File for C, then Set.

    Then you'd highlight the drive you want the paging file on, and set a System Managed paging file, then Set, then OK.

    If this doesn't work it may be a bug in 1809, which was pulled down due to serious problems. You can roll back Version 1809 in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and then hide it until it matures using the Hide Updates Tool downloaded from here: https://www.howtogeek.com/224471/how-to-prevent...

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
