📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a bug in Windows 10 where the virtual memory settings window appears truncated and cannot be expanded, preventing the user from adjusting the page file location, especially after formatting a drive. The original poster wants to move the virtual memory back to a HDD from an SSD but is unable to do so due to this issue, which they've noticed persists for about two months. A respondent suggests a workaround by setting the page file to zero on all drives, applying changes, rebooting, and then reconfiguring the virtual memory as desired.

I just can't change the virtual memory (the screenshot shows exactly why) the window is half cut and I can't expand it with mouse to apply my changes. This is a Bug cause earlier (just after installing windows 10) I had changed it to one of My HDDs. I needed to format this HDD so I used TAB to select the "apply button" and go back to "let windows choose for you" But now I really need to put my virtual memory back in a HDD as my main drive is a SSD and I don't want to make it work more than necessary.

I don't know when it happened, I thought it was going to be fixed in any future update but nothing until now. (I think it's been 2 months since I noticed the problem).

set page file to zero on all drives then apply and reboot.
Then you can put your page file as you like.
