The pagefile setting has always been complicated. In WXP/W2003 we used to set it as twice the RAM (both min and max to avoid fragmentation). Then with W7/2008R2 the system was managing it quite fine so we used to let it set to automatic. With W10/W2012/2016 if we let the system managing it, the pagefile.sys is way too big and the current SSD drives are quite small so a problem can occur. I often see my servers being out of free space on C: because of the pagefile. So here is what I am doing to set it: I am waiting for the PC/server to be heavily used, then run the command "wmic pagefile list" and if I see a pagefile usage ( "peak usage") different from zero, that means my server need more RAM. Because today most of the server are VMs, adding RAM is easy, and we should always add RAM instead of boosting pagefile size. Note this command resets when the computer/server boots, so you have to reboot it, to have the peak usage to zero, then wait for the users to come (or process to launch on a pc) and you will take your decision when you see the result of the command. I love Mark but I find this advise of "twice the commit" limit to be too "big".

Great Video-Series - really great !
One Question about correct PageFile-Size: Why do you need more like 2GB Pagefile-Size when you have double ram you need under stress, and set crash-dumps to small size? e.g. a Desktop-PC for Word - with 16GB ram, doesnt need much Page-File. And when you will need more memory, then youll get message "Low Memory" so admin can fix.
