Windows 10 Memory Management Guide

Windows 10 uses more advanced memory management techniques compared to older Windows versions. It divides memory into electronic memory and pagefile, compressing data by up to 40% to reduce memory usage and allow more applications to run simultaneously. This compression feature saves about 50% of pagefile activity by keeping frequently used compressed data in electronic memory rather than paging it to disk. Overall, Windows 10 provides faster memory management through aggressive compression techniques.

 By compressing memory we reduce the amount


of memory used per process maintain More Applications

 Pagefile in Windows 10 is a hidden system file


with the .SYS extension. It is stored on your
computer’s system drive (usually C:\). The
Pagefile allows the computer to perform
smoothly by reducing the workload of the
physical memory, RAM.

 Windows 10 uses [Link] to store data of the electronic


memory
 Windows 10 has two categories of apps: modern and traditional

 If RAM becomes congested due to excess data, the app and


data things are compressed up to 40% and accommodated in
the same electronic memory.
using the memory compression feature in
Windows 10 It saves about 50% of pagefile activity

most of the data is already available on the main


memory – in a compressed form, When the app or data
is required, it is decompressed and used.
