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.

    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.

    did you check BIOS setting for those SATA drives? are they set as removable or fixed there?

    That info is not available in the Acer Bios menu.

    Both my drives show as Fixed hard disk in System Information from Administrative tools.

    I had mine set as Fixed disk in Windows, but it was not until I also set it as the same in BIOS then I was able to create page file on that drive.  For users who don't have access to that option in BIOS, it's up to the mercy of the installer to decide if the disk is fixed or not.  Only Microsoft can fix this then.
