I know how to increase / decrease by limiting the pagefile.sys file. The question is what exactly fills the paging file and is everything used there now that has been dumped or just scammed and left to wait? In my case, the RAM is 90% loaded, and the swap file is 16GB, the total RAM on the server is 100GB, this is a VM on Hyper-V. Of course, I will add RAM if necessary, the host still has it, but you need to understand what the swap file is filled with. At the moment, the swap file is not fixed, it is set automatically. The server itself is a 1c server + MSSQL server

The paging file is filled with 4kb memory pages.
A page to which there are no accesses is taken and copied to the paging file.

and is everything that has been piled up there now

It is used only if the page contained in swap has been removed from RAM and is requested by the system.

No way.
Well, that is, of course, it is possible, but it makes no sense, because there is porridge.
In the Task Manager in the "Processes" add the "Virtual Memory" column and go.
