How can I limit the size of c:\swapfile.sys?
I would expect wmic swapfileset to work, but it doesn't exist:
wmic swapfileset where name="c:\\swapfile.sys" set initialsize=1000,maximumsize=1000
swapfileset - Alias not found.
If I can't limit it I'll disable it
if I can't limit its size I'll probably disable it as described in https://superuser.com/a/512209/128465
It's killing my SSD
The Photos app uses 4GB memory:
wmic process get CreationDate,Name,PageFileUsage,PeakPageFileUsage | grep PhotosApp
20150129004217.258444+060 PhotosApp.exe 2659428 4289992
Windows moves this to swapfile.sys when the app isn't used for a while. It bothers me that Windows is frequently writing 4GB to my SSD, because it cant handle more than 100TB writes
dir /ah %systemdrive%\swapfile.sys | tail -3 | head -1
