    I’m pretty sure Windows doesn’t have fixed-size swap. It uses pagefiles.

    Edit: apparently pagefiles can be given a static size as well.

      This can be specified manually to be static

        Oh, neat! I had no idea. Still, the term “swap” would be incorrect.

          A “swap” file is for holding pages of memory that have been swapped from RAM to disk.
