    I was trying to follow your suggestion to change Paging File Size. Choices are Automatic or Custom. If I do the ”Custom” , what is your recommendation for size? Or should I just choose automatic? (what is the default) Thank you

    Hello Fred,

    Great question, if you opt to use custom you should use double the size of your memory, if you have 8 GB of ram for instance your should multiply it by two then by 1024 equaling 16,384 for your page file in MB. You should only choose this option if you have a spinning hard disk drive and not an SSD. Otherwise stick with automatic.

    I hope that helps!
