win 11Pro 25H2 26200.8246
When I was doing some routine backup for offsite I discovered that there was a 10GB page file on one of my non-boot NVMe s
I went to Menu/System/Advanced and discovered that sure enough it was there and in use. I deleted it, did the obligatory reboot and checked again - normal.
No idea how(or when - sorry I did not screen shot it) or why this happened but you might check your system in Advanced.

normal for me: Note 1GB is too small for most folks - I have 32GB fast OC memory.

Might have been moved by windows when diskspace was in the past very low on that drive. Have seen that in the past as well, if system managed size was used.

Yes, many legit reasons why it might have happened - if it was a few months ago i was using a (I found out later) very piggy vlog processor that was chewing a huge amount of my resources. - if I had just noted or screenshot it!!! :D (blatant pitch: I use Wondershare Filmora Basic now)

Note: I never use "system managed" but I fully accept that win does indeed sometimes simply "get confused"!!! :D

Think of how many exe's and dll's there are in win!!! (35,373!!!)
