Yes the is server, yes i know we need to upgrade, in the budget for this year. Thanks ahead of time! If I recall, Page file usage is cumulative.
It will create a file based on minimum allotted size which you can create or let Windows manage , then it will get bigger as it is used until it reaches the maximum size.
At that point it will either re-write previous paged data or give you memory errors if both RAM and the entire Page file are in use. You can always increase page size based on the hard drive space you have available. But if your hard drive is slow, it's better to increase RAM when possible which you might be able to do if you have more available on your host as a VM.
Windows was also one of the last 32 bit servers so you may not be able to boost physical RAM beyond the 4GB threshold if it was a 32bit install. In that case, SSD storage and more page file space might be in order. A planned rebooted, awhile It shutdown on its own for a reason i was unable to find about 2 weeks ago.
In a nutshell, page file in Windows is like the swap file in Linux. Think of it as a built-in overflow so your system doesn't crash if you use more RAM than allotted. In Linux this is a special partition. We're a community of IT professionals committed to sharing knowledge.
