For about the past 6 months occasionally I would have some bsods and screen freezing which required a reboot.
Finally determined virtual ram was the issue. I do not remember which win11 update was installed when the issue started. A couple of years ago I limited the vram setting because I thought 32G actual ram was sufficient.
Anyhow a few weeks ago a debug message indicated an insufficient vram error. So I changed the vram setting to allow win to determine what it needed. Since then there have been no bsods or app freezes, None.
But during troubleshooting I did notice at some point win had created a duplicate recovery partition on one of my backup drives. I understand how this can happen but I failed to notice it until recently.
I was able to re-establish the recovery partition to my boot drive. I understand the purpose of the recovery partition and that it may not be necessary but I also realized I do not know exactly how the recovery partiton works. If it exists on a physical drive, does it still need and/or reference "c:\RecoveryWindowsRewinpmre.win"?
Your thoughts and expertise is welcome.
