Hi,

Thank you for the update.

I suggest you to change the size of virtual memory and check if it helps.



To change the size of virtual memory follow the steps below:

• Right click on This PC.
• Go to Advance 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.

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.
