Windows 10: Windows Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. Svchost using almost...

HelloI have around 27 PCs on a site that intermittently experience software crashes a few times a week each. My software is a unity standalone build. After further investigation, it seems that many of these crashes are caused by 'System out of memory' issues. Looking at the event log, I got multiple Resource-Exhaustion-Detector events for low virtual memory condition. One of them is the following:Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory:

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.

 

Windows successfully diagnosed the condition of no virtual memory.

Hi, AleksanderBR

Welcome to Microsoft Community.





We understand that you are experiencing issues related to virtual memory. There are times when Windows automatically allocates to virtual memory may not be sufficient for you to use certain software, in this case, you can try to set it manually:

1. Open System Properties:

• Right-click on "This computer" or "My computer" icon and select "Properties".
  

2. Access Advanced System Settings:

• In the System Properties window, click "Advanced System Settings" on the left side.
  

3. View the performance settings:

• Under the "Advanced" tab of the "System Properties" window, click "Settings" in the "Performance" section.
  

4. Open the virtual memory settings:

• In the "Performance Options" window, click on the "Advanced" tab, then locate the "Virtual Memory" section and click "Change". Click "Change".
  

Adjust the virtual memory to the size you want to use.



Furthermore, you can submit your ideas and suggestions about Virtual memory through the Feedback Hub, and the development team will regularly review submissions for ideas or fixes.

Please share the feedback link here after submitting as it will allow others on the forum to vote for your submission, including me. More votes will lead to more visibility and higher priority to the development team.

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?
