Information

This policy setting allows a process to keep data in physical memory, which prevents the system from paging the data to virtual memory on disk.

If this user right is assigned, significant degradation of system performance can occur.

The recommended state for this setting is: 'No One'.

To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to 'No One': Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Lock pages in memory
