Policy
Enable NTFS non-paged pool usage
Windows 11 25H2
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows10, Windows10RT, Windows11, WindowsServer2016
By default NTFS allocates memory from both pageable and non-pageable memory as needed. Enabling this setting tells NTFS to use non-pageable memory for all allocations. NTFS also changes all of its code sections to be non-pageable. The benefit of enabling this feature is a reduction in page-faults and stack usage at the cost of additional memory consumption. A reboot is required for this setting to take effect
