dbminter Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I checked my root directory and discovered a swapfile.sys. However, I already had a pagefile.sys, which is Windows swap file. So, why do I suddenly have something called swapfile.sys which was the old name for pagefile.sys in older Windows versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yeah, I am running Windows 8. The odd thing is I don't think I ever noticed there were 2 paging files before since I got this new machine in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
