Recently I've been running programs that really like to soak up my system memory. So much that a lot of the time I don't even have a gigabyte left. This has led my system to hang and eventually crash quite often. I see in task manager there's a variable that tells me my compressed memory. I don't have it enabled, but from the sounds of it, it could solve my lack of memory issue until I buy more. How would I go about enabling Windows 10 memory compression?
Note: Yes, I've looked else where before posting, surprisingly I didn't find much, only things I found were to disable it for odd reasons.

Memory compression is enabled by default. However, it appears for whatever reason, you currently have it disabled. Within a Administrator PowerShell command prompt type the following command to disable memory compression
Disable-MMAgent -MemoryCompression
Within a Administrator PowerShell command prompt type the following command to enable memory compression
Enable-MMAgent -MemoryCompression
