I've been using 12 Gb for a long while. Recently I started using a 4Gb VM and I felt that it was slowing down a lot, using a lot of virtual memory so I decided to increase up to 18Gb so everything went smooth as before
But yesterday, out of pure curiosity, I decided to remove 100% of the virtual mem removing 100% of the pagination file.
My surprise: when the total mem used according to the task manager reached 12.2Gb any program that used anything beyond that, dropped. So for example, if I started the VM (4gb) on a 10Gb total Mem used, it started consuming up to 12.1 and the moment it reached 12.2Gb it dropped with Not enough Memory.
Pretty awkward this situation. Theoretically, there are still 6Gb left to reach those 18gb, but it seems that pesky Windows is using that extra 6Gb for something I can't figure out.
Had anyone experienced these type of situation?
Obviously, I've gone back to the auto-pagination file management system which I hate because at some point it starts slowing down everything and I'm sure this thing I've found has something to do with it). I can't believe that a Google Chrome with 4 tabs open (and no extensions) + the VM (4Gb) can go up to a 14Gb so easily
By the way: Confirmed 20.5/42 (18gb + 24gb of paged mem) which is even worse: Using 20.5 Gb seems so crazy for what I'm using is weird...
This is my top 6 apps, as you can see there isn't any one that is mad on mem req
Here is the RAMMap output (the unused missing is zeroed by the way)
