    Virtual Memory, too low? or too high?


    Hello, first time asking a question here on microsoft.com and I hope someone can help!

    So I have a Toshiba i7core PC with 12 GB of RAM. Lately I have been having high disk usage issues and have been searching for solutions to solve the issues. I have gone through various methods and found only slight results.

    One solution was to lower Virtual Memory in order to help the PC and disk usage. Once I found the advanced settings to create my custom Virtual Memory I found that my Allocated Virtual Memory was actually lower than the recommended on my computer.

    As of right now it is at, 1884.

    Where as the recommended is at, 2442.

    I have been trying to read as much information as I can on this topic and I see a lot of different responses on it can help disk usage but also slow your computer down.

    I mainly use my computer for gaming as well as emailing and work while using basic programs such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

    So my question is should my virtual memory be that low? If i were to raise it to the recommended or even a little higher would it be safe? Also if i were to raise it would it create issues going forward with PC performance?

    Please let me know what you all think!

    Thank you!

    :)

    Low Virtual Memory

    Sorry. So I was using Premiere Pro, the video was just a screen recording of my desktop. So nothing really heavy. I thought I had all my details of the machine that popped up when i posted. Nonetheless.... it's an i9 7900x processor with a m.2 ssd drive with the os and programs on it. All the creative programs are all set to a 250gb ssd scratch disk. But I did notice that for some reason Premiere was set to scratch to the M.2 for some reason. The video card is a Nvidita GTX 1080 8GB card. The other thing is too I have MSI afterburner running as well. Whether or not that tripped the error I dunno. I'm just going off the error report in event viewer that flagged Low Virtual Memory

    Low Virtual Memory

    So if I'm pushing 64 gb.... what would b the reasoning for my error report with low virtual memory? I tried to look up updating the memory drivers, but that led me down the road of updating the bios
