"Performance Options" windows is opened after login on Microsoft Windows

Question

After logging in my Windows account, the Performance Options windows is opened on the Advanced tab. What's the problem? How to stop it?

Answer 1

Windows is trying to tell you that it failed to create any paging file. In that case, the action defined in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\VMApplet is triggered. The default value is SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe /pagefile, which is what you see after login.

Remove the problem for which the page file couldn't be created or edit the registry key.
