🔧 Steps to Increase Virtual Memory in Windows
1. Open System Properties
Press Win + R, type sysdm.cpl and press Enter.
Or, right-click This PC / My Computer → Properties → Advanced system settings.
2. Go to Performance Options
Under the Advanced tab, in the Performance section, click Settings.
3. Adjust Virtual Memory
In Performance Options, go to the Advanced tab.
Under Virtual memory, click Change.
4. Manage Paging File Settings
Uncheck “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives” (if enabled).
Select the drive (usually C:) where you want to increase virtual memory.
5. Set Custom Size
Choose Custom size.
Enter values for Initial size (MB) and Maximum size (MB).
Recommended formula:
Initial size: 1.5 × Installed RAM
Maximum size: 3 × Installed RAM
Example: If you have 8 GB RAM (8192 MB):
Initial: ~12288 MB
Maximum: ~24576 MB
6. Apply & Restart
Click Set → OK → Apply.
Restart your computer for changes to take effect.

📌 Tips:
Always leave at least one drive (usually C:) with a paging file.
Don’t set Initial and Maximum too far apart; keeping them closer reduces fragmentation.
If you frequently run out of memory, consider upgrading physical RAM (faster than relying on virtual memory).
