Windows 10: Your Device is low on memory problem.

Hiya

Im having a problem with windows 10 where every now and again when i use task manager its stuck on a screen saying "Your Device is low on memory"

Now i have 16GB RAM and it says this when its only taking up 10%-30%

Is there a way to fix this issue?

I use task manager to force close background apps like "Steam or discord" when they crash but i cannot do this while stuck on this screen.

Hi,

Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

When your computer doesn't have enough memory for all of the actions it's trying to perform, Windows and your programs can stop working. To help prevent information loss, Windows will notify you when your computer is low on memory. You can also learn to recognize
the signs of low memory and take steps to prevent the problem.

I would suggest you to refer the link for more information.
