Unrelated to that exact image but I'm gonna rant about other windows shit because I feel like it.

Windows decided my page file needed to be 80 GB. I do not want it to be 90 GB. I go to the start menu and search up "page file" to see if there's a settings menu. First result is a random file in an application's directory that can't be opened/displayed by any program on my PC, then a list of other unrelated files.

So I open Control Panel, hoping to find it where I did before, and I click on System. What do you know, that menu no longer exists, and redirects to Windows Settings. Where do I go from here? Maybe the giant Installed RAM section because the page file is just a (overly simplified) method of extending your memory to your disk? No, of course not, that menu's not actually a menu, it's just a stat counter.

Instead, I have to go to Device Specifications, then the section titled Related links, then click Advanced system settings. Oh whaddaya know? Now I'm in the settings menu that used to be behind the original System option in Control Panel!

Now I'm in the Advanced tab of that menu. But where do I go from here? That's right, Performance Options, and then another Advanced tab!!!

Then I have to click the Change button, where Windows has... conveniently enabled System managed size so it could choose to set my page file to 80 GB.

I edit, it, hit Ok, have to hit Apply in the other menu too, have to close out the no-longer-needed Settings and Control Panel windows that only served as a maze to get me here in the first place, and THEN I can restart my computer to reduce the size of the page file, even though it is currently not in use by any program, and all data is in RAM, and the file could reasonably be shrunk by the system at any time.

After the restart, this process begins all over again, because this is my third attempt, and Windows automatically reverts back to managing the size itself, and sets it to 80 GB. I have 5 GB of storage space left on my disk.

All this yes. If you're actually looking for help, you have to also click "set" after changing the page file settings.
