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 have the same problem described by oldguy3.  It begin today, immediately after update to 1809.

    Controller is Asmedia 106x SATA.

    I, too, prefer my pagefile on my D: drive, which is 1TB spin type (W-D Black).

    Very obviously, another 1809 bug.

    You are right. If the drive where you want the page file to be created on is reported as a removable drive, it will just be ignored.  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.

    Put me down as yet another person with this issue.

    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.
