Windows process that controls memory

Question

Windows process that controls memory

Anonymous

Hello! I am using many processes that consume CPU and ram, their use is quite large, but they do not need it, what I do to make them consume as little as possible I use the lowest priority of Windows and the "Mem Reduct" program, where their function is to pass part of the memory used by a program/process to modified memory (or that's what I know). And as far as I know the changed memory is saved to the hard drive (virtual memory) when it is no longer needed. With few processes, everything works perfectly and the modified memory is 50mb, but when I use many processes, and the CPU is at 100%, this memory drops very slowly, or almost does not drop, it is not saved in virtual memory. Is there a way to force saving that memory or just maybe give priority to the process that controls that memory? From the conclusion I draw is that it is a process that uses CPU, and when the CPU is used mostly, it is not used to save memory. (I have 100gb free of virtual memory) (I need as much physical memory as possible) (I've tried using Windows server, same result) (I'm using google translator) Thank you!

Hi,

My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you.

Why do you need a physical memory? You (as a user) cannot use or manage it.

I may suppose you are under the impression of some myths. Mem Reduct may reduce system performance.

Please read the articles about memory management in Windows - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-...

Ask a questions if you'll still have them.

> to open more processes I want.

Sorry, but Mem Reduct cannot help in this case. The first stage of memory allocation is committing RAM so you need to have enough reserve of committing memory (see Performance tab of Task manager). Then Windows memory manager will work.

Can you show an error window when you cannot run a program?

Answer 3

I know that i cannot manage the usage of a program memory.

I just want to windows save the modified memory that I have to the virtual memory, to open more processes I want.

Because it is saving that memory if the CPU is not in high usage, but if my CPU is at 100% the memory is saving slowly, so I need to wait a long time to open another process that i want

Answer 4

You, personally you, cannot use a RAM. You may run a programs using memory only. And it is program's developers who decides how much RAM the program needs,not you. Sorry, but this is how the programs operate.

In Windows NT family (including Windows 10) all programs are run in virtual memory, and Windows memory manager assigns physical RAM addresses to virtual ones. Paging out some virtual memory to a disk with Mem Reduct can reduce overall performance only.

Please describe your real problem. Why do you want to page out a running programs?

Answer 5

What do you mean that I cannot use the physical memory I may have misnamed it? I want the modified memory to save to the Virtual Memory to use my memory to open more processes that I want.

I can make you an example, I have some processes (all the same) that uses a % of CPU and RAM, for example, 5% of my CPU and 1Gb of RAM.
When I use mem reduct, some of that ram, moves to the modified memory, and windows saves it to the Virtual Memory, so the prcocess is using less memory, like 350mb instead of 1gb.
But when I have more of this processes Windows does not save more modified memory, or it does, but very slowly.
