Just wondering if anyone knew why this was. This was a fresh install of Windows 10 from about 6 months ago. Right now the page file is 9.8 GB (managed by Windows). It "recommends" just 9. I have a VM running windows 7, with 4 GB of memory allocated. It is running 4 GB of page file, but the "recommended" size is 6 GB. Since the amount of RAM hasn't changed since install (and the VM only has a couple light programs running on it) why isn't Windows running what itself "recommends" to run?
