How to reset virtual memory in Windows 11? This question is asked only by advanced PC users who understand what it is and why it is necessary… In general, virtual memory is a kind of auxiliary part of the allocated memory that processes data and stores it in itself in order to transfer information to RAM if necessary. It turns out that RAM works constantly only with the most important and necessary processes at the moment, and virtual memory works "on the hook" and at the first command, transfers everything that it stores to the "older brother" in the person of RAM. Such mutual assistance allows RAM not to be depleted during operation and at the same time, virtual memory has the ability to unload RAM ... It turns out some kind of relationship, but sometimes it happens that virtual memory is filled with unnecessary processes and in addition to everything, software failures may occur in it. In such situations, it is immediately noticeable how the Windows 11 operating system begins to slow down sharply and thereby slows down the process of working for a PC. If you notice such failures in the speed of your OS, then you should perform a reset of virtual memory - this is done relatively quickly and does not require special knowledge, the only thing is that each step must be performed in strict sequence.
