  1. Critical error after allowing maximum memory use


    After I enabled the maximum memory option in the boot tab of the system configuration window and restarted my computer I got a critical error blue screen. I was able to get into winRE and used the answer that’s on this to help but after I closed command prompt my computer got stuck in a critical service failed loop and I can’t access winRE anymore. Is there anyway to fix this or even factory reset?

    :)

  3. Windows 10 Critical Error low memory

    Hi Michelle,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are getting Critical errors on Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

    I suggest you to follow the steps recommended by me on November 25, 2015
    if the Start menu fails to work from below link and check if it resolves the issue.

    Signs of low memory include poor performance, low-memory or out-of-memory notifications, and display problems. Your computer has two types of memory, random access memory (RAM) and virtual memory. Low memory problems occur when your computer runs out of
    RAM and becomes low on virtual memory.

    Here are the recommended ways to solve or prevent low memory problems:

    • Increase the paging file (virtual memory) size
    Windows automatically attempts to increase the paging file size the first time your computer becomes low on memory, but you can also manually increase it up to a maximum size that is determined by the amount of RAM installed. Here's how:

    1. Launch File Explorer or press Windows logo + E keys, and then
    right click on This PC, select Properties.

    2. Click on Advanced system settings on left panel.

    3. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click
    Settings.

    4. Click the Advanced tab, and then, under
    Virtual memory
    , click Change.

    5. Clear the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives
    check box.

    6. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.

    7. Click Custom size, type a new size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, click Set, and then click OK.

    Note: Increases in size usually don't require a restart for the changes to take effect, but if you decrease the size, you'll need to restart your computer. We recommend that you don't disable or delete the paging file.

    • Install more RAM and determine if a program overuses memory in Task Manager. Here's how:
    1. Open Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar.

    2. Click the Processes tab and sort programs by memory usage under
    Memory.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Critical error after allowing maximum memory use

    Critical Structure Corruption Windows 10

    I keep getting this error "Critical Structure Corruption" and can't seem to fix it.

    It happens while I am busy on my laptop. Here are some of the steps I have tried so far to resolve this with no success.

    1. Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic = no problems so RAM looks good.
    2. Check The CPU with Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool = PASS all
    3. Drivers update, I used driver booster and did need to update 18 drivers but was able to update with no issues.
    4. Update software and drivers, well it was suggested that I update BlueStacks but the update failed, bluestacks mentioned that it might be an issue so as I do not use the tool I uninstalled the software altogether.
    5. Updated Windows, this I do regularly and automatically so no big updates were missed.
    6. Defragged the machine - system is optimized
    7. Ran anti-virus check and all's good
    8. Ran CCleaner

    Now I might mention I'm not a super user, but I'm able to follow suggestions quite well.

    Any help will be appreciated.
