Thanks Andy, I would never have found it, even search didn't help,
They are sure making things harder to find for no apparent reason.

They haven't yet gotten rid of Control Panel.
Control Panel - System - Advanced system settings - Advanced tab -
Performance settings - Advanced - Change
That's the old way (pre-Windows 10) of finding the pagefile settings.
There are also shortcuts used by running control.exe with parameters, or
by running the .cpl or .msc applets. While some still run the old
Control Panel applets, but Microsoft has stolen a couple away and they
now point to the settings wizards.

control access.cpl: Accessibility Options
appwiz.cpl: Add/Remove Programs
bthprops.cpl: Bluetooth Devices
timedate.cpl: Time/Date Properties
desk.cpl: Display Properties
inetcpl.cpl: Internet Properties
joy.cpl: Joystick Properties
main.cpl: Mouse Properties
main.cpl keyboard: Keyboard Properties
mmsys.cpl: Multimedia/Sound Properties
ncpa.cpl: Network Connections
powercfg.cpl: Power Options

hdwwiz.cpl: Device Manager (*)
intl.cpl: Windows Region Settings
telephon.cpl: Phone and Modem Settings
tabletpc.cpl: Tablet Settings (unavailable on non-tablet PCs)
(*) I still use devmgmt.msc. The MMC panels (.msc files) are also handy
to have shortcuts. Some are described at the article below, but some
won't run on Home edition of Windows, especially those that affect
policies, and you cannot define shortcuts for some because the Home
edition doesn't have a matching file:

There's also creating the God mode folder which will show all the
Control Panel wizards in a grouped flat list. Create a new folder and
name it:
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
For the pagefile settings, you'd go into this folder and scroll down to
System - View advanced system setting. Alas, although you can right-
click on this folder to Pin to Start menu, the folder won't show up
there. However, I created a new folder (Control Panel shortcuts) and
dragged the God.Mode folder inside that, along with all the above quick
shortcuts. I then right-clicked on my Control Panel shortcuts folder
and pinned that to the Start menu.
To get acquainted with the Windows 10 wizards, I try using them.
However, sometimes I give up drilling through all the wizards, and go
back to my Control Panel shortcuts folder (which also has the CPL and
MSC shortcuts).
