Ridiculous Modified Memory usage
Hi,
I've noticed lately that the Modified Memory is getting extremely high over a period of time. I can't really tell when this happens since my pc is running for days if a restart is not needed so it's hard to tell what's causing it.
I have this issue for a while now and I made a little research in the past which left me confused on whether the modified memory is reusable or not. Many people said that it is reusable and Windows will utilize it when the RAM is almost full. The problem here is that I'm running 32GB of RAM so it's a little hard to get to a point where windows are starving of RAM... until today where I received the Out of Memory pop-up window, telling me to shut down programs!
I reconfigured the paging file in the past, adding 2000MB (initial) to 8000MB (maximum) paging file for C:\ but it looks like it didn't solve the problem. Maybe that's not enough? I don't want to allocate a huge amount of my C:\ to paging file because it's an 128GB SSD and every GB is valuable. For the same reason I had to disable the Hybernation mode in windows because it was reserving 32GB of the SSD in order to fit all my RAM.
The rest of my HDDs do not have a paging file which I'm not sure if it's good or not.
Does anyone have any idea how to narrow this down?
Thank you in advance!
