Hello,
A DMA server is currently seeing a page file usage of 97%. However the memory usage is quite low:
While it is recommended to let Windows handle the page file, is there any way we can find which processes are using the page file ? How do we handle such issues in general ?
I did come across this article – https://www.m-files.com/user-guide/2018/eng/inspecting_page_file_usage_in_performance_monitor.html; however, it does not reveal the exact processes. Thank you.

How to determine the appropriate page file size for 64-bit versions of Windows – Windows Client | Microsoft Learn has details on what Microsoft recommends for the page file size.
Following text is key. Similar to the swap space in Linux, OS manages how this space is used and high usage doesn’t mean that there are performance problems.
“100 percent usage of a page file doesn’t indicate a performance problem as long as the system commit limit isn’t reached by the system commit charge, and if a significant amount of memory isn’t waiting to be written to a page file.”
Thanks.
Hi Arunkrishna, don’t know if this can help?
