Solution Steps
- 1 Press Windows key + R, type 'sysdm.cpl', and press Enter. Go to the 'Advanced' tab, under 'Performance', click 'Settings'. In the Performance Options window, go to the 'Advanced' tab and click 'Change' under Virtual Memory. Ensure 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives' is checked. This lets Windows manage memory quotas properly.
- 2 If the error is from a specific application, check the application's documentation for memory settings. Look for options like 'MinMemory' or 'MaxMemory' and ensure the minimum is less than the maximum.
- 3 Open Command Prompt as administrator and run 'sfc /scannow' to repair system files.
- 4 Run 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' to repair the Windows system image, which can fix underlying issues.
- 5 If the problem persists, try reinstalling the application that triggers the error.
