1. Test your Memory
To fix this, you will have to run the Memory Check on your computer. Start by hitting the WINKEY + R button combination to launch the Run utility. Then type in, mdsched.exe and then hit Enter. It will not launch the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool and will give out two options-
- Restart now and check for problems (Recommended)
- Check for problems the next time I start my computer
Now, according to the option selected by you, the computer will restart and check for memory-based problems. If you get any issues there, it will fix it automatically else if no issues are detected, this is probably not the cause of the issue.
2. Run System File Checker
This will repair potentially corrupted or damaged Windows system files. You will need to run this command from an elevated command prompt.
You can also use our freeware FixWin to Run the System File Checker utility with a click.
3. Disable Automatic Paging File Size Management
Under the section called as Performance, click on the button called as Settings.
Under the section called as Virtual Memory, click on the button called as Change.
Another new mini window will pop up. Uncheck the option stating, Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
Now we have to increase the Page FIle size. To do that, double the amount of memory allocated by default inside of the text field.
For example, the paging size for my machine was given as Minimum as 16MB, so for the initial size, make it to 32MB. As the recommended value we have is 1907MB, I will make the maximum size somewhere around 4000MB. This will now allocate more space for paging into individual drives.
And then click on OK. Close all windows and Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
4. Update your Device Drivers
There is a strong possibility that the drivers installed on your computer are not compatible with Windows 10. Updating your drivers is not difficult. Just head to the Device Manager to do the needful. Or, you can just head to the Downloads section of your manufacturer’s website. Get all the drivers that are newer than what is installed on your computer.
