  1. Low memory all of a sudden


    Hi. I know a lot when it comes to RAM, I know how to manage it, how to decrease the usage of it. However, when I was using chrome, I get a message warning me of too much ram used. I go to task manager, after closing chrome, to see this:

    What the heck is that "system memory..." thing? Is it just RAM that needs to be cleaned? This doesn't happen often, I'm just curious and what can I do to prevent it in the future?

    My Windows Phone all of a sudden erased all of my calendar events. What should I do?

    Hello,

    The problem we are having is that the Windows phone is erasing ALL calendar events - including future ones. HUGE problem as we are missing appointments now. Only thing that shows are holidays . What is going on? This has happened twice now.

    Thank you.

  4. Low memory all of a sudden

    Could you right click on that and post pictures of the service and the task in detail tab associated with that task?

  5. What I'd do here is restart the PC and run nothing. Then kill every killable and unnecessary for running of Win10 tasks. Kill everything but tasks like svchost, winlogon, dwm and the others that need to be running along with Windows.

    I'd also look at your installed software in control panel.

    Open control panel and click on uninstall software, it'l show you all the programs that are installed. Uninstall any that you don't use.

  7. You might also wanna disable applications to run at Windows startup. Another thing to do is use msconfig and turn off all the useless services like from 3rd party softwares.

    I just looked up my task manager and I don't have "system and compressed memory" running.

  10. System and Compressed memory kicks in when your browser is using more than 500MB of your system Ram. Ditch Chrome, use Edge or IE. And don't keep too many tabs open at once.
