  1. Device is running low on memory at 24% usage? Windows, you okay?


    I have 32GB of Ram in my system. This is the first time I have ever seen this message when opening task manager and I do not see a way to get rid of it. Why on earth would 24% memory usage seemingly cripple my PC...?

    Any ideas how I can get rid of this and be able to see the normal task manager?

    Thanks in advance!

  3. Windows 10 - 'Your computer is low on memory' alert message is displayed randomly.

    How do I know when a program is using the most memory? I have no understanding of how to measure that usage. What constitutes "overuse" of memory?

    I would also suggest you to check if a program overuses memory



    If the computer becomes low on memory whenever you run certain programs, one or more of those programs might have a memory leak. To stop a memory leak, you need to close the program. To repair a memory leak, you need to check for updates for
    the program or contact the publisher of the software.

    To determine which program is using the most memory, follow these steps:

    • Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete key to open Task Manager.
    • Click the Processes tab.
    • To sort programs by memory usage, click Memory.
    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
