Can't disable swap on Windows

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have been trying to reduce our swapping:

swap.PNG740×537 66 KB

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?
