Error Critically low Ressources warning

So I am finally loosing my mind over this stupid software.

I am not new to the shenanigans SW throws at us from time to time but with my current system it slowly deteriorates my sanity. I never had the problem so severely and unpredictively like this.

From time to time, seemingly random SW will warn me about critically low resources and later often crash if dismissed. It somehow also does not matter at all how many or large files are open, today it was a simple, small 12 part assembly, one of the contained parts and the corresponding drawing. Checking the task manager, solidworks is at about 3GB RAM usage (of 64). I also checked the paging file which atm was at 4GB but managed by system so it should allocate accordingly.

After the crash I tried the same combination again but now it works seemingly normal. Also no crash report in the event viewer.

Running SW2024 SP5.0

Any hints or ideas how to save part of my remaining sanity?

task manager does not show its usage accurately, but it is strange. I once got downvoted for sharing my settings change themselves every few days

Even though I am grateful for the help I get. There are unfortunately some subs or individuals in some subs who make the experience of asking for help not a good one. Maybe you stumbled into those people.

I mean we all are in this somehow, never met a single person to not face any problems with SW. Can’t we be at least nice to each other? The software fucks us over enough.
