windows - Resource-Exhaustion-Detector: out of virtual memory, but plenty of RAM available

Windows Event Viewer shows this (translated):



A lack of virtual memory in the system was successfully detected. The
largest amount of virtual memory was allocated to the following
programs: 10582573056 bytes were allocated for myapp.exe (12412),
916819968 bytes were allocated for firefox.exe (18240) and 794206208
bytes were allocated for firefox.exe (13724).



I have 32 GB RAM and 2500 MB page file on SSD. myapp.exe used 10 GB, Firefox.exe used totally ~4.5 GB (as I see now in Task Manager). Some stuff uses like ~150 MB x10. So my total RAM usage is 16 GB and it's not nearly close to 32 GB. Why do I still see Out of memory error and this warning in event viewer and what can I do to avoid it?


I don't want to have bigger pagefile on SSD. I bought 32 GB RAM and I don't want anything to swap. The only reason I have this 2 GB pagefile is that some apps won't run without it at all.
