Windows doesn't kill.

Yes, you can but the fact that I have to do it makes for a poor system.

Windows will autogrow the page file (*swap file is separate from a page file in Windows; swap is exclusively for UWP apps) as needed. It sounds like the application wanted to allocate contiguous regions of memory when none were available. T

Windows will never overcommit. All pages are backed by physical memory or backing store.

Which, by default, is dumb for a presumably interactive system. Photoshop (or equiv) is going to be my "largest" process on a system. Because it's the one I'm interacting with. Don't kill what I'm using.

> This doesn't solve the original issue and only masks the underlying problem. You're moving goal posts. No, a page file doesn't solve the problem of a misbehaving application, but it does solve the problem of an app crash

Swap is not fast. Faster than it was, yes, fast, no.

Your argument falls flat when a page file can be multi-GB and automatically grow. And if your application admin was competent, memory monitoring would be part of the application monitoring stack. An application that grows in such a way (bes

^ The purpose of the system commit limit and commit charge is to track all uses of these resources to ensure they are never overcommitted — that is, that there is never more virtual address space defined than there is space to store i

This is almost always a bad idea. If no memory is available where a page file would make a difference, this leads to application crashes instead. A crash is (usually) worse than paging. Certain applications, Photoshop being the historical e

Old software wasn’t universally fast. And the load/expectations of server software was quite a bit lower due to fewer users, in the case of a web server. I can remember the slow loading of Bryce 3D or Photoshop or Office on P133 with a

Yes, it's jargon. Blue screen is that default page. Yellow screen of death is another one, referring to when ASP.NET throws an exception and you have detailed exceptions turned on (which for public sites, you shouldn't).

Those traversal attempts are still very common, right next to the PHP/WordPress script kiddie attacks.

While it is closed, we've had enough leaks from that era of Windows (which are still on GH) to know the kernel is not backdoor'ed.

Snowden says nothing about backdoor'ed Windows. And _NSAKEY... There is no evidence that it was ever part of a backdoor. But it is good for a laugh.
