How to Disable Paging File to Extend Your SSD’s Lifespan on Windows 11

Step1: Open Run by pressing Windows + R, type the following in the open box, and select “OK” or press Enter:

Step2: Open the “Advanced” tab. In the Performance section, click the “Settings” button.

Step3: On the Performance Options window, open the “Advanced” tab. In the Virtual Memory section, select “Change”

Step4: At the top, select your SSD. Turn on the “No Paging File” option and select “Set”. Then, click “OK”
