View Full Version : Paging File Maximum Size Ignored

The "PF usage" in Task Manager is the combination of
physical and virtual memory commited (which isn't quite
the same as allocated). It is NOT how much of the
pagefile is in use.

If you're really interested (it's complex, but there
should always be some stuff in the paging file), you can
see the current pagefile status by opening Performance
Monitor (perfmon.exe) and adding the counters in the
Paging File section.
