Batu69 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Windows 10 ( and 8 ) include a new virtual memory file named swapfile.sys. It’s stored in your system drive, along with the pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys. But why does Windows need both a swap file and a page file?Windows swaps out some types of data that aren’t being used to the swap file. Currently, this file is used for those new “universal” apps — formerly known as Metro apps. Windows may do more with it in the future.Swapfile.sys, Pagefile.sys and Hiberfil.sys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
