Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2 (26200.6901)
I ran the upgrade on my computer and now running Windows 25H2 (26200.6899). My old pooter here is still chugging along happily like nothing ever happened. I still have my private network connections and everything works the way it should (really surprised given the last few updates caused me grief).

The only thing I have noticed is that my page file would typically use 2 to 10% of the 2 GB set aside. Since upgrading to 25H2, now my page file is using consistently 50+% and it has maxed out once. Any idea what may be causing it? I've looked around and I haven't been able to locate anything out of the ordinary. Screenshot below is my current page file usage and my computer rebooted just over 20 hours ago

50% of 2GB is not that much. In fact it's hardly anything.
I have my page file set at 8GB, and if you run System Managed it will be much more than that.

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
My page file is system managed, and has been 4GB since I installed Windows on this machine in March. I don't see any reason to limit it's size since I'm guessing Windows is better at managing it than I would be.
