How This Tip Works
When working on your PC, having Word documents or
webpages open means that the pages get loaded into the RAM, to save
RAM Windows tends to put various files into your Page File (Like a
cache system). Microsoft has left an option to clear out the Pagefile
on shutdown off as default, here is the way to switch it on. Take
note, this increases shutdown time.
- Start Regedit. If you are unfamiliar with regedit please
refer to our FAQ
on how to get started.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management
- Select ClearPageFileAtShutdown from the list on the
right.
- Right on it and select Modify.
- Change the value to 1 to enable.
- Reboot your computer.
