Insufficient memory to continue the execution program

Hello

I got error for the first time on studio on DEV VM

“Insufficient memory to continue the execution program”

Does this ring a bell to anyone? Is it likely to be a VM memory issue?

Hi @adext01,

Yes, it is likely a VM memory issue. When the error occurs, check Task Manager → Performance → Memory and see if the VM is running low on available memory.
Also check whether other applications or multiple Studio instances are consuming memory.

As a temporary solution, you can restart the VM to clear the memory usage or avoid opening multiple processes/projects at the same time.

For a permanent resolution, check with the IT/Support team to review the VM’s memory allocation and identify the root cause.

Thanks!

Hi @adext01,

Yes, this error is usually related to insufficient available memory (RAM) or virtual memory on the DEV VM. I would suggest checking the following:

  • Check the current RAM and CPU usage in Task Manager while Studio is running.

  • Close any unnecessary applications or background processes that may be consuming memory.

  • Check whether the page file / virtual memory is configured properly and has enough available space.

  • If the workflow is processing large files or DataTables, try to identify whether a particular activity or process is consuming excessive memory.

  • Restarting the VM can also help if memory has been gradually consumed by other processes.

If the issue happens consistently with a specific workflow or activity, sharing the Studio version and full error details would help narrow down the cause.

Hope this helps!

This is a good forum-style answer—technical, clear, and not overly long.

@adext01

Yes, it’s due to lower RAM and more users on the server.

Refer this knowledgebase.

Hi @adext01

Yes, it could be related to the VM memory. I would first check the available RAM and see if other applications/processes are consuming too much memory.

You can also try restarting Studio/VM and run the process again. If the issue keeps happening, then we can check the workflow or Studio logs for the exact cause.
