Windows 10: Not enough memory resources are availabe to complete this.

My system screen goes black. It hangs. Not much is working properly. I've tried dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth , it then shows not enough memory resources, so I've increased the IRPStackSize value to 50, yet its not working

:)

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

There is not enough memory or resources, MS Paint

Your first step should not be to edit the registry, this may not be the root cause.

The message says 'not enough memory or resources' so you should look at that first, the problem may be with the system, not Paint itself. Sometimes system resources do not get released for re-use once no longer needed by an app. Select Restart from the power button on Start, this will ensure Windows does a full start from cold and will have all resources available.

How much RAM do you have? What size is your page file? If you have not already done so, set the page file to 'System managed', Step 8 in this tutorial.

What does Task Manager show for Memory on its Performance tab while you use Paint? What is the size of the image you are editing?

If you still want to try editing the registry, then close Paint and open Regedit. Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint. In the left hand column, right-click on Paint and select Export to save the key as a .reg file (in case you need to restore it). Then right-click on Paint and delete it. The key and all its sub-keys will be recreated when you next open Paint.
