Disable low memory warning in Windows 7?

[k3n]

I have 12gb ram with 256gb SSD. I also have pagefile.sys cache turned off completely, because it can increase its size up to 10gb for no reason. I am confident I will never use up the 12gb, unless I ran a modern game without shutting down other software like MySQL workbench.

Whenever 9gb is used up, or there's only 3gb of ram left I get a pop up from Windows 7 telling to shutdown a particular program.

How can I get rid of this pop up completely? I'm willing to risk a BSOD.

Use the page file. Some programs/games actually run into issues without a page file, even if all RAM isn't being used.

Just do like i do. I have 16GB of ram and was going to turn off the page file completely but just to avoid issues such as yours, i set the minimum and maximum to 1GB. That way it won't use up to 16GB by default but i still have a small buffer to appease the programs that require/request it.

Alright thanks for the response. I'll consider having a 2gb page file.

I'll consider having a 2gb page file.

That's what I've done... I never get the warning anymore.

Echo this!

I just don't know if you could disable it. I think it will stop giving you alerts until you clean up your device. Or look for an app that could greatly help you solve this problem using a vpn to be safe.

The only game/program that had any problem with the pagefile being disabled was Sacred (it was hardcoded not to start without seeing one, set it to 256MB and it was fine). 12GB of ram is probably the minimum i'd disable it, i have 16GB and have been running for years without any issues.

Here's how to get rid of the warning, knowing that you won't be warned if you run out, applications will just close, no chance to save your work.

1. Click Start, click in the Start Search box, type gpedit.msc, and then press ENTER. MMC will start with the Local Group Policy Editor open.

2. In the navigation tree, expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand System, expand Troubleshooting and 3. Diagnostics, and click Windows Resource Exhaustion Detection and Resolution.

3. In the console pane, right-click Configure Scenario Execution Level, and then click Properties.

4. On the Setting tab, select Disabled, and then click OK.
