Windows 8.1 and 10 32-bit Virtual Memory Limitations being Enforced by you.

 I found the deeper issue. It has to do with the coding of Windows 8.1 and Windowd 10 not allowing DX9 32-bit pc games to utilize more than 4064 Mb worth of video memory, NO MATTER WHAT. You can change the page file size all you want, but running a DX9 Video Memory test it shows 4064 on every test, then I run the DX11 Video Memory test, and it says I have 33644 Mb of Video Memory. And I am sure that seems fine considering that without special treatment almost any 32-bit program cannot utilize more than 4064 Mb. But through hard work and dedication a select few people made it possible to utilize every last byte of video memory for a 32-bit pc gaming application. All in an effort to make it possible to run games, SKYRIM in particular, with many graphic intensive mods. And this was somehow hindered in the transition from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1...and I can attest to this through research and through trial and error. I can guarantee for a fact that when I ran the exact same memory test days before I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, that I was able to utilize all (roughly) 33000 Mb of video memory even on a 32-bit DX9 game, with those apparent 4064 Mb video memory limitations. And the proof is in the pudding whether windows wants to sit with their arms crossed or not. I can revisit the same in-game locations where I know was utilizing much more than 4064 Mb on Windows 7, and on Windows 10 and the game crashes to desktop every time in the same memory intensive location, where I once was able to glide into smooth as butter. I know it may not seem like a big enough problem for enough people for you to want to fix it, but the truth is there are many of us who would like to see a solution. Because the 3 most beautiful games in history, when modded, all run on that 32-bit DX9 platform. Not sure why the "silent" implementation of the limit was put in place, or may just be a bug, but I ask that you look into it without shrugging it off as stupid. Because it was once possible to exceed that 4064 Mb limit, and it no longer is on your two most recent OS's. And millions of people still play Skyrim to this day because it aged so well, and because of a thriving and active modding community still working to this day. Thank you for taking the time to read this and would appreciate some kind of response, whether good, bad or indifferent an answer is always respected. -Zain H .  I posted this on another question page and when I woke up the page was taken down. So I will post again and would respect an answer here. If not I will be getting a petition to force the change to be implemented, since no one has responded in the multiple times I have reached out.
