This is a time-consuming process, but it can expose data that is cached from RAM to the paging file. The attacker can move the system volume into a different computer and then analyze the contents of the paging file. A malicious user who has physical access to a server that has been shut down can view the contents of the paging file. This helps devices handle multitasking functions. Important information that is kept in real memory might be written periodically to the paging file. This confirmation ensures that sensitive information from process memory that might be placed in the paging file is not available to an unauthorized user who manages to directly access the paging file after shutdown. However, devices that are configured to allow other operating systems to start should verify that the system paging file is cleared as the device shuts down. On a running device, this paging file is opened exclusively by the operating system, and it is well protected. Virtual memory support uses a system paging file to swap pages of memory to disk when they are not used. This policy setting determines whether the virtual memory paging file is cleared when the device is shut down. Also, may want to go back to hidden files and folders to hide the OS files(recommended) if you're leery about accidentally messing something up in the future.Describes the best practices, location, values, policy management and security considerations for the Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile security policy setting. For those that couldn't get this fixed with the sc config command prompt, I hope this helps. I didn't have to restart twice, but mistakes can happen. If not, set the pagefile now, making sure to set and apply, then restart computer again. You may get a message telling you so, and the pagefile settings that you designated should finally be set and saved. Upon restart a new pagefile should have been created.
This time, it will not ask you to override the existing pagefile.sys OR set a custom amount and apply changes. Click system managed file size, set, and automatically have windows manage it. Go back to where you can set your paging file. Click on C: drive, and you should see a pagefile.sys. Under "Hidden Files and Folders", click the bullet, "show hidden files, folders, and drives".Īlso, uncheck the box, "Hide protected operating system files(Recommended)". Go to Control Panel and click the "Appearance and Personalization" link.Ĭlick "Show hidden files and folders", under the FOLDER OPTIONS link. Click to expand.I fixed it after searching google for a bit longer!!!!! ill post the solution here.
