To adjust the size of the pagefile.sys using PowerShell, follow these steps:
Open PowerShell as an administrator.
Type the following command to get the current pagefile configuration:
Get-WmiObject Win32_pagefilesetting
To set a new pagefile size, use the Set-WMIInstance cmdlet with the Win32_PageFileSetting class. The Set-WMIInstance cmdlet will update the values specified for the pagefile settings. Here is an example command that sets the minimum, maximum, and initial pagefile sizes to 1024 MB:
Set-WMIInstance Win32_PageFileSetting -Arguments @{name="C:\pagefile.sys"; InitialSize=1024; MaximumSize=1024}
Replace "C:\pagefile.sys" with the path of your pagefile if it is located elsewhere on your system.
After running the command, verify the changes by running the Get-WmiObject Win32_pagefilesetting command again.
