In this manual, it is detailed how to correct the error "not enough system resources to complete the operation" and how it can be caused. The article is written in the context of Windows 10, but the methods are relevant for previous versions of the OS.
Simple ways to correct the error "not enough system resources"
Most often, the mistake of deficiency of resources is caused by relatively simple main things and is easy to talk to start talking about them.Next - rapid error correction methods and basic causes that may invoke the appearance of the message under consideration.
- If the error appears immediately when you start a program or game (especially dubious origin) - it can be in your antivirus that blocks execution of this program. If you are sure that it is safe - add it to the exclusion of antivirus or temporarily disconnect it.
- If the paging file is disabled on your computer (even if a lot of RAM is installed) or on the system section of the disk of a little free space (2-3 GB = little), this may cause an error. Try turning on the paging file, while using its size automatically defined by the system (see Windows Paddock file), and take care of sufficient free space).
- In some cases, the reason is indeed in the insufficiency of computer resources for the program (study the minimum system requirements, especially if this is a game like PUBG) or that they are busy with other background processes (here you can check the launch of the same program in Windows 10 And if there is no error there - to start clean the startup). Sometimes it may be that in general for the resource program there is enough, but for some difficult operations - no (it happens when working with large tables in Excel).
Also, if you see the constant high use of computer resources in the task manager, even without running programs, try to identify the processes that load the computer, and at the same time check for viruses and malicious programs, see how to check the Windows processes for viruses, malware removal tools.
Extra Methods Fix Error
If none of the ways given above did not help and did not approach your specific situation - further more complex options.
32-bit windows
There is another frequent factor that causing the error "not enough system resources to complete the operation" in Windows 10, 8 and Windows 7 - an error may appear if you installed 32-bit (x86) version of the system on your computer. See how to find out, 32-bit or 64-bit system installed on the computer.In this case, the program can start, even work, but sometimes stop with the specified error, this is due to the limitations of the size of virtual memory per process in 32-bit systems.
Solution One - install Windows 10 x64 instead of a 32-bit version, how to do this: how to change Windows 10 32-bit on 64-bit.
Changing the parameters of the unloaded memory pool in the registry editor
Another way that can help when an error occurs is a change in the two parameters of the registry responsible for working with the discharged memory pool.
- Press Win + R, enter the REGEDIT and press ENTER - the registry editor will start.
- Go to RegistryhKey_Local_machine \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management
- Double-click on the Poolusagemaximum parameter (when it is missing - right click on the right part of the registry editor - Create - the DWORD parameter and set the specified name), set the decimal number system and specify the value 60.
- Change the PageDPoolsize parameter value to FFFFFFFFF
- Close the registry editor and restart the computer.
If it does not work, perform another attempt by changing Poolusagemaximum to 40 and not forgetting to restart the computer.
I hope one and options will work in your case and allows you to get rid of the error considered. If not - describe in detail the situation in the comments, maybe I will manage to help.
