Does Windows 10 have issues with memory management?
Against my better judgment I'm on Windows 10 right now, probably going to go back to 7 soon, but just for right now I seem to have an issue with Windows not managing memory properly.
When trying to use any memory heavy software I use (Specifically Substance Painter and Premiere) whenever I reach only around 60% RAM usage, Windows starts tossing "LOW MEMORY" errors and once I reach about 70% shit starts crashing. This is a huge issue for Substance Painter as my 4K workflow can blow through my entire 16GB of RAM with absolute ease when I start getting a heavy number of fill layers and generators.
This problem didn't happen on Windows 7, I can hit 90%+ RAM usage without issue.
Don't take my word on it, but i think that happened on the very first version of W10.
I have everything updated and not a single problem regarding memory so far.
No. I run premiere cs6 on my w10 machine with 8 gigs of ram and I do not have that problem.
Check your pagefile size.

Thanks. I was 12 hours into that encode.
At least I still have the .264 file and can trim it up and continue from there.

That's what you get for """""upgrading""""" to Windows 10.

Are you one of the idiots that disabled the pagefile?

I'm the one who just blackscreened. 2GB pagefile.
I don't know if this helps you or not but here are some stats from my computer

No, I haven't messaged with anything like that.

Blackscreen here. I think I was running out of commit charge. This is now with 8GB pagefile, two encodes (2GB avisynth 1.2GB x264 each), Chrome with 6 tabs, and eleven 1080p MPC-HC/madVR windows open.
Have you done MemTest86 yet?

It isn't anything fun, it's a poster that a client needs digitally restored
I just started working on it so it looks super crappy right now

Hm ok I guess.

The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

That doesn't tell us much of anything, download process explorer and find what process is hogging the memory.

After some testing, it seems Windows now expects a large pagefile (or programs are wasteful in how much they commit.)
With 12GB RAM, opening programs to max it, I was at 16GB committed before it started swapping. So with my previous 2GB pagefile size I think it was running into its commit limit before it even ran out of physical RAM.
