  2. Memory Diagnotics results

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    Usually this is caused due to performance issues. I would suggest you to try increasing the virtual memory and check if the issue persists.

    Follow the steps to increase the virtual memory:

    • Press Windows + Pause/Break keys to open properties (You may also go to This PC and right click on free space and click Properties).
    • In the left pane, click advanced system settings.
    • On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
    • Click the Advanced tab, and then, under Virtual memory, click Change.
    • Clear the automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box.
    • Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.
    • 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.



    You may also check if this issue is caused due to faulty memory or not.

    Follow the steps to run Memory Diagnostic tool:

    • Press Windows + W keys to get the search option.
    • Type Memory Diagnostic in the search option.
    • Click on the Memory Diagnostic tool to run.
    • Click on Restart d check for problems and follow the prompt.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    Need some advice on computer problems.

    Run HDtune (free version) on you hard drive. but most likely that the problem. You can also test your memory with Memtest86 as suggested above

    You didn't list your OS
