I booted my machine, and suddenly got this pop-up:
Windows created a temporary paging file on your computer because of a problem that occurred with your paging file configuration when you started your computer. The total paging file size for all disk drives may be somewhat larger than the size you specified.
When I close the pop-up, I see the Performance dialog saying Total paging file size for all drives: 0 MB. I've never changed pagefile settings, and the Change... button shows that it's set to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
I've tried to set to the different settings belowand reboot, but always got the same popup:
- Select drive, set to system manage size
- Select drive, set to
No paging file Custom size:Initial: 5000MB, Maximum: 10000MB
This answers.microsoft.com post suggests I:
- Disable pagefile - Even if I do, I get the same pop-up
- Delete c:\pagefile.sys - can't get deleted
- Set partition pagefile attribute using
DISKPART- butHELP ATTRIBUTES DISKsaysREADONLY is currently the only disk flag that may be changed.

1How much free space on
C:? – Eugen Rieck – 2016-02-04T12:45:29.13060GB - should suffice – Jonathan – 2016-02-04T13:36:06.807
Turn off page file and reboot, then re enable it, see if this solves the error message. – Moab – 2016-02-04T18:41:41.950
Did that, doesn't fix the issue. I also upgraded to Windows Insider Preview build 14251 - same issue. – Jonathan – 2016-02-07T13:05:29.653
