If you are reading this article, then for certain you have some suspicions that in your system unit or laptop, there is a problem that looks like: "There is not enough memory on the computer". Perhaps this problem may seem trivial to some of you, but trust us that as soon as it becomes clear that there is not enough memory in Windows 10, then immediately it is necessary to take measures to eliminate this problem, because it is possible that there may be a situation in which, you can not fully work on the computer, until you eliminate the existing error.
Lack of memory, most often has two directions:
- There is not enough RAM.
- There is not enough virtual memory.
Therefore, seeing the message: "There is not enough memory on the computer", you should immediately think about the directions in which the so-called gap usually occurs:
- There is a real lack of physical RAM on the computer.
- A large number of programs and applications simultaneously work on the computer, which constantly absorb the free resources of the system.
- The computer is full of hard disk, which adversely affects the capabilities of the operating system to fully use the so-called "swap file".
- A program / application can be installed on the computer that reproduces a "memory leak", which allows only one software to absorb all allocated memory for work.
Actually, it is all the above reasons for the occurrence of your problems and can provoke the system to show you a message: "There is not enough memory on the computer to free up the memory, close the programs." Based on all of the above, you need to act according to the specific situation.
How to remove "insufficient memory in Windows 10" error
- Suppose that your computer does not have enough physical memory, then you should pay attention to changing the RAM slats. Immediately, it is worthwhile to understand that memory slots are different and sometimes, the user needs high-speed memory or more stable, in this case, the slats should be selected directly for their needs.
- If the cause of your problem, when there is not enough memory in Windows 10 is the fullness of the hard drive, then you should use some third-party utility "cleaner" or, you can use the standard features of the system in the form of the utility "Cleaning disk ". In order to start the "Disk Cleanup" utility, you must: go to the Start menu -> right-click on the system drive "C" -> in the opened menu select "Disk Cleanup" and start the utility accordingly. It should be noted that this utility does not delete the stored files on your hard drive, but it cleans it from all sorts of junk and nothing more. So, while the utility is running, you will keep everything in your hands, and it will only give you recommendations on how to remove those or other bits from the OS.
- We can not do without you and without having to check the completeness of the "swap file". In order to make sure that the paging file is 100% working, you need to do the following: open "Control Panel" -> go to "System" -> open "Additional System Settings" -> go to "Options" ( are located in the "Performance" section) -> click on the "Advanced" tab -> use the "Edit" button. We draw your attention to the fact that you can independently adjust the size of the swap file, but it is best to provide the OS in automatic mode.
- If you have a problem in that the memory consumption is made by the software, then in this case, it is best to use the "Task Manager". Just need to sort the displayed working applications using the "Memory" button, which is located on the "Details" tab.
- Well, and the last step to the action, it will be necessary to check the operating system with antivirus for the virus, because some viruses can also cause problems due to the fact that there is not enough memory in Windows 10.
We hope that thanks to our article, you will be able to understand what is really your problem and you will have an opportunity to quickly understand it, because in reality, the main problems are not so much complicated, that there was no possibility of them decide!
