Server 2016 Not Growing Page File

C

ChGPe

I have two Server 2016 servers running Exchange 2016. On one of the servers, I've been getting low virtual memory warnings acccompanied by EventID 2004 in the System logs. I have my pagefile setup on a dedicated volume with 56GB of available space, and the page file on that drive is set to "System Managed Size".

However, Windows is only allocating about 6GB to the pagefile at the time that the low virtual memory warnings are occurring. Here's the text of the EventID 2004 alert.

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: w3wp.exe (16264) consumed 2428682240 bytes, noderunner.exe (20560) consumed 1856581632 bytes, and w3wp.exe (15356) consumed 1847402496 bytes.

If I add up the bytes of those 3 applications, it's only amounting to about 6GB. Why is Windows not growing the page file?
