About this tag
Hard faults occur when Windows must read data from the page file on disk because it is no longer in physical RAM. This is slower than soft faults, which can be resolved from memory. In Windows 10, memory compression helps reduce hard faults by keeping compressed data in RAM instead of paging to disk. Understanding hard faults is key to diagnosing system slowdowns and memory pressure. The tag covers discussions about memory management, paging behavior, and how Windows optimizes RAM usage to minimize disk I/O.
