Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or programs and then try again.

So without even wasting any further time let’s see How you can Fix Out of Memory error in windows 10. Along with the help of the below troubleshooting steps as well.

How to Fix Windows Out of Memory Issue

In order to resolve this problem yourself, just modify the desktop heap size. In order to do this, you have to follow these steps:

  • Tap on Start, then type Regedit in the Start Search box, and then tap on regedit.exe in the Programs list. As well as press Windows key + R and in Run dialog box type Regedit, just tap on OK.
  • You have to locate and then tap on the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
  • Just right-click the Windows entry, and then tap on Modify.
  • Now in the Value data section of the Edit String dialog box, you have to locate the SharedSection enter. And then increase the second value and also the third value for this entry as well.

SharedSection uses the following format in order to specify the system and also desktop heaps:

SharedSection=xxxx,yyyy,zzzz

For 32-bit operating systemsincrease the yyyy value to “12288”;
Increase the zzzz value to “1024”.
For 64-bit operating systemsincrease the yyyy value to “20480”;
Increase the zzzz value to “1024”.

Note:

  • Well, the second value of the SharedSection registry entry is actually the size of the desktop heap for each desktop. That is actually associated along with an interactive window station. The heap is actually required for each and every desktop that is created in the interactive window station (WinSta0). The value is actually in kilobytes (KB).
  • The third SharedSection value is actually the size of the desktop heap for each and every desktop. That is associated along with a “non-interactive” window station. The value is actually in kilobytes (KB).
  • We do not really recommend that you guys set a value that is up to 20480 KB for the second SharedSection value.
  • We also increase the second value of the SharedSection registry entry to 20480. And also increase the third value of the SharedSection registry entry to 1024 in the automatic fix as well.
