    How to adjust Swap File in Windows 10 Build 20H2?


    Control Panel > System now opens PC Settings. How do I adjust the Swap File now that Microsoft has deleted the old method?

    Thanks,

    Edit: Ah, there is an "Advanced System Settings" link on the right side of PC Settings that will open the old method of adjusting it. Silly Microsoft, why half ass things??? Why not fully integrate the UI in to PC Settings?

    That changes the Pagefile settings, not the Swapfile.

    Two different things.

    If you open your computer (to show drives etc) then right-click an empty part you still have the old method available. Although you should probably get used to the new way as more changes are coming.

    Yeah they repurposed the Swap File and renamed the actual Swap File to Page File instead of using Page File as the new thing in the first place.
