    When Virtual Memory is enabled, shutting down causes boot loop later


    Windows 10 Pro, 1903, 18362.418
    i7-4790K, 32 GB
    AX860i Power Supply

    Hi, I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.
    I did not keep "my files and documents" but it was still an upgrade, not a clean install to formatted drive.

    I noticed that after I "Shut Down", if I pressed the power button, the computer would go into a boot loop.
    I'm not even sure that is the right term, though, as it would power off in under a second of trying to power on, so not sure it's even getting to the OS Boot part.
    Then, in under two seconds later, it would try to power on again with the same result, again and again.
    To stop this loop, I have to turn the manual switch on the back of the power supply off.
    Then, if I wait a while (maybe like an hour) and then try again, it will power up.

    I was convinced I was overloading the power supply during startup or something so I tried unplugging a lot of things like extra hard drives but it did not help. I tried disabling the Fastboot thing in the BIOS and that did not help.

    Definitely when I disabled Virtual Memory the problem has gone away, and when I put it back, the problem comes back.

    I would like to be able to keep my Virtual Memory on, System Managed.

    What is my problem here?

    Thanks!

    1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
    2) sfc /scannow
    3) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    5) sfc /scannow
    6) chkdsk /scan
    7) wmic recoveros set autoreboot = false
    8) wmic recoveros set DebugInfoType = 7
    9) bcdedit /enum {badmemory}

    10) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

    11) Make sure that there is no over clocking while troubleshooting.

    12) In the left lower corner search type: system or system control > open system control panel > on the left pane click advanced system settings

    a) > on the advanced tab under startup and recovery > click settings > post an image of the startup and recovery window into the thread

    b) > on the advanced tab under performance > click on settings > on the performance options window > click on the advanced tab > under virtual memory > click on change > post an image of the virtual memory window into the thread

    13) turn off Windows fast startup:
