Wouldn't it have been possible to not use a one-size-fits all approach? I'm thinking about things like moving the swap to a dedicated partition, like on Linux, and ditto for the other edge cases.
- SergeAx 4y agoIn earlier Windows versions users sometimes had to fiddle with swap file size. Even on newer versions the "System determine size of swap file" may be a default option (don't have a Windows machine nearby right now). Resizing partition is much more cumbersome process than resizing a file.
