dbminter Posted June 2, 2015 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?

dbminter Posted June 3, 2015 Author 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.
