Paging file on 2nd HD doesn't work anymore after Windows update in Dec
Hello, Happy new year.
I have a couple PC's in my house running Windows 10 64bit. All these PC's run Windows from a SSD and have a 2nd HD installed. To save space on the SSD's I put the paging file for the virtual ram on the 2nd HD.
So now, sometime in December after a big Windows 10 update, 2 PC's showing issues with the paging file.
After a restart or sleeping I'm getting an error msg on these PC's:
Windows created a temporary paging file on your computer because of a problem that occurred with your paging file configuration when you started your computer. The total paging file size for all disk drives may be somewhat larger than the size you specified.
Ok, in my case Windows automatically created them like 10 times smaller. To solve the problem temporary, I had to disable the paging file on the 2nd drive, and activate it on my SSD. When I'm trying to re-configure it to my 2nd drive it seems to work until a restart, and Windows is doing his thing and the error message appears again. How rude!
First I thought the second drive might dying (since I have everything moved on there like Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc.) when the error appears, the whole desktop is empty, it seems like it is not recognizing the 2nd HD anymore. But after Windows does his rude thing, the desktop comes back. I scanned the 2nd drive for errors but none were found. But anyways, since the same issue appears on two PC's, I doubt that the problem is the 2nd drive. I'm pretty sure the update messed something up.
I googled the issue first before coming here, and it seems I am the only one with this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!
