Windows 8.1: How to disable Swapfile.sys

Recommended Posts

A.K.A. pagefile.sys for Metro apps. Without further ado, this is how:

REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]"SwapfileControl"=dword:0
After the reboot, Windows itself will delete swapfile.sys and from then on will act as it never existed. Pagefile.sys will still exist. No complaints in the Event Log.

I haven't noticed any ill effects, Metro Control Panel still works (maybe, just maybe, it starts a tad slower). I don't have or use any other Metro apps.
