High virtual memory usage in Windows 11

Hey everyone - I recently installed windows 11 from scratch on my PC. For some reason, my virtual memory usage indicator is very high. It's sitting at about 60-75% used when i have a few browsers open as well as steam, discord, onedrive etc. I have 32GB memory installed. When I launch a game, it rockets up to 98-99% used and sometimes causes game crashes. I have not changed the setting - it's still set to let windows manage the virtual memory for me.

Everything I'm seeing says I should let windows manage it, but it goes too high when I do. Should I manually adjust it to the recommended size?
