Can't disable swap on Windows

[jthoni (John T)]

I have been trying to reduce our swapping:

The cluster is running on Azure VMs (ES is actually running on a secondary hd):

On one of the nodes:

• I have ES_HEAP_SIZE set to 14g

• I have the Windows Virtual Memory page file disabled

• I have mlock enabled

  "aVL-ZYsnQju5G4ZsVVwT5Q": {
     "settings": {
        "bootstrap": {
           "mlockall": "true"
        }
     },
     "process": {
        "mlockall": true
     }
  },
  

I still have these warnings about swapping. Note that I have not rebooted the VM. I don't want the node to be down that long. Is that required?

Any idea how to tune this?
