You know how your PC chugs when you juggle too many tabs. I tweak the page file to fix that. It borrows space from your drive to act like extra RAM. First, right-click on This PC and hit Properties. Go to Advanced system settings. Click the Performance Settings button. Then pick Advanced again. You'll see Virtual memory change. Uncheck that automatic box. I set mine to custom size. Make the initial size one point five times your RAM. Say you got eight gigs of RAM. That means twelve gigs for the starting size. For maximum, I double it to sixteen gigs. Pick your fastest drive for this. SSDs shine here over old hard drives. Apply the changes and restart your machine. Boom, smoother sailing now. If you're gaming heavy, I bump it higher sometimes. Test it out with your usual stuff. Watch how apps load quicker. Don't starve your system drive though. Leave room for other files. I monitor with Task Manager to see if it swaps less. That means you're winning. Sometimes I clear temp files first. Keeps things zippy. You try this tweak next time it lags.
