CTD - a thought borne out of my curiosity re Pagefile

I’m curious!

How many of you experiencing a CTD are not using the Windows Pagefile?

And if you enable it, do the CTDs stop?

I have 64 G 3400 RAM configured.
I am experiancing CTDs when my Mouse is out of main window for over 1 min.
All ok when i keep mousecursor in Sim Window.
Error msg sounds like Logitech.
Other gear Thrustmaster throttle and stick.
Does not make a difference if I run Mobiflight or Little Napmap or not

I don’t know anyone who would intentionally disable their page file as it’s a really bad idea, regardless of whether or not the are using MSFS.

I have not suffered too many CTD’s

I let Windows manage the pagefile.

But I only have the OS and pagefile on that one drive.

Game is installed to a different drive.

Rolling cache (when I bother to use it) is installed to yet another drive.

I have 64Gb ram.

The idea of asset reads from drive 1 + cache read/writes to the same drive 1 all while windows was read/write to pagefile on that same drive 1 didn’t seem like very efficient use of the resources available to me and I imagine there would be a bottleneck right there.

As xr mentioned -do not disable your page file and just let windows manage the size.
