  1. AutomaticManagedPagefile: Enables Windows-managed page file settings, allowing the operating system to automatically determine the size and location of the page file.
  2. Custom: Disables automatic management and applies user-defined initial and maximum page file sizes on a specified drive.

NOTE: This script requires administrative privileges and PowerShell 5 or higher.
