How to get rid of low memory error on Windows 8.1. I am getting this error after updating the operating system to 8.1 from Windows 8. I have 6GB ram in the system and still getting low memory error. What is this about. I had check in the system properties and found that entire 6GB is detected. I also checked the ram usage in task manager which is low. While working in between I am getting a low on memory error. How to fix the same.
This error is due to page file of Windows 8.1. It looks this is limited due to which you are getting the error. If you can set the same on automatic then the issue can be resolved. For that go in Control Panel\System and Security\System. In that click on Advanced system settings > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Virtual memory > Change. Set the same on automatic and reboot your pc. The error will be resolved.
You can increase the page file size from that section if you want. But if you are still getting the same kind of error then you have to re-install windows back again. So the first thing you have to do is backup your files. Copy your entire system data somewhere else. Once done you can then move ahead with installing windows back. It looks the upgrades has messed up with the page file settings. It is not getting back to the normal.
