Windows 10: Windows successfully diagnosed the condition of no virtual memory.

Recently I've been having problems with firefox crashing, and today I found in the event viewer that Firefox supposedly ate all he virtual memory. Firefox used 3,525 gibibytes in total, yet the virtual memory is set at 4975 mebibytes minimum and 15925 mebibytes maximum. I've decided to increase it, but could someone explain why didn't windows just allocate more given it had the possibility to more than triple the allocated virtual memory? Also, I've had issues with half the system crashing because of "lack of RAM" when task manager clearly reported only about 50% usage. I've used windows memor

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition ?

Teams kept crashing so I took a look at the event log and found this message just before it crashed.

Any idea why Unarchiver.exe (which I assume was something to do with 7zip) is using so much virtual memory? that's 2.47Gb

I've uninstalled 7zip but I keep getting the same issue, Windows Defender and Malewarebytes can't find anything, extremely frustrating to lose connection in meetings due to a random issue like this.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

How to deal with low virtual memory conditions

I started having problems on my Windows 10 system about 2 weeks ago and find myself rebooting every few days because things are crashing. When I look in the event viewer I see a lot of repeats of warning messages that look like this:

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: Unpacker.exe (6288) consumed 2462076928 bytes, coldfusion.exe (5876) consumed 607285248 bytes, and BlueIris.exe (5500) consumed 539377664
bytes.

In the same area of the event viewer there are a lot of hard errors of services failing.

I have no idea what unpacker.exe is but I do know about ColdFusion and Blue Iris and they are valid for my system. Is unpacker.exe something that Microsoft runs? I cannot find it on a scans of my C or D drive and when I run Malware Bytes it doesn't bring
this up as an issue.

If unpacker is invalid, how do I get rid of it. If it is valid, why is it using up the virtual storage?

Hi.

Check this link, it is to run (Scannow and Dism) that are used to repair Windows system files.

If the above does not work, follow these steps:

1.- First, close all the programs and files that you have open.

2.- Click with the right mouse button in the Windows Start menu and select Control Panel. Then choose the category System and security. On the next screen, look down Administrative Tools on the right and click on that option.

3.- One of those tools is the Windows Memory Diagnostic. Double click on it to open it.

4.- The diagnosis gives two options to choose from. See what each one does and click on the one you prefer:

Restart now and check if there are problems. It is best to select in most cases. Make sure to close all programs as I have asked before. The PC will reboot on its own when choosing this option. Right after, the check also starts automatically.

Let us know if these steps help you to resolve the issue.
