Windows 10. Every now and then ~4Gb of my disk space vanishes into a thin air. And then mysteriously re-appears after few minutes. I need a tool to track the offending process down. Any recommendation?

Too much regulation for no reason. The response by DrMoishe Pippik actually did help in my case. I am just waiting for few more days to see that problem is really gone before I accept the answer as the solution. Strange to find bureaucracy in technical forums.– DimaCommented Dec 13, 2018 at 19:42

If you have Virtual Memory set to different minimum and maximum sizes, the pagefile can grow or shrink when you have a lot of RAM in play. To prevent this, and to avoid fragmentation of the pagefile, set them to the same value.,

Microsoft Sysinternals. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/ Process Monitor will probably be your friend. Even if you don't find what your looking for, They are great tools to have.

great tool, I will try to use it to track down the problem when it pops up next time. For now I have adjusted the pagefile sizes as suggested by DrMoishe Pippik and it seems to have stopped.– DimaCommented Dec 13, 2018 at 19:44
