| Scenario | Recommendation | | :--- | :--- | | | Do NOT disable. You need the pagefile for stability. | | 32GB+ RAM (Gaming/General) | Optimize. Set a fixed size (e.g., 1024MB - 2048MB) to prevent crashes while saving space. | | 64GB+ RAM (Video Editing/Workstation) | Safe to Disable (usually), provided you monitor for application errors. Keep an eye on RAM usage. | | SSD Wear Concerns | Keep enabled. Modern SSDs have high endurance ratings; the pagefile will not kill your drive. |
