Even if you have 128GB of RAM installed, you should still have a Page File.

There is no article or white paper anywhere by any virtual memory expert that says it is better to disable to the page file.

How much free disk space do you have?
Windows 10, fully up to date with updates.

One of the suggestions I read online was to disable the page file.... I'll re-enable this now.

I currently have 360GB free (of 930GB). Funnily enough, the HDD has started behaving itself again since posting and running these tests after several weeks of it being constantly 100% and nigh on unusable. But I will keep an eye on it.
