Windows 10 How to Fix the 'Your Computer is Low on Memory' Error
You’re just surfing the web, listening to some music, and trying to finish that Excel spreadsheet when suddenly you get a pop-up saying “Your computer is low on memory.” Why does this happen and how can you fix this error in Windows 10?
In this case, “memory” doesn’t refer to hard drive space. It refers to random access memory (RAM). This is your computer’s high-speed working memory, and it exists as physical microchips separate from the hard drives that permanently store your operating system, apps, and data.
This means that to solve this problem, you will need to free up your computer's RAM. However, it also doesn't hurt to free up some disk space if you are running low on memory.
