Linked Clones, disposable disk, pagefile not relocated

Hi,

I have created a linked clone desktop pool and specified a disposable disk of 5G to relocate the windows page file. In the master image (Windows Server 2019 LTSC) I set the pagefile with min 2G and max 4G)

After recompose, the desktops have the correct pagefile settings but on the C-drive instead of the disposable disk.

Any idea where to look (logs) to find out why it doesn't use the disposable disk?

Is it even necessary to have the disposable disk, because it's a non-persistent desktop pool which is refreshed at logoff (we're using FSLogix profile containers for user settings)?

Thanks,

Michiel.

Version info: Horizon 7.9, Master image: W2019 LTSC (version 1809), FSLogix 2.9.7205.27375

Regards, Michiel.

Why does it says "Paging is disabled"???

Is it a version of windows thing?

I noticed my 1607 it is still working, but others I have 1803 are not.

I also have this error in the vmware-viewcomposer-ga-new.log
