On a 32GB gaming system, in World of Tanks I encounter some 'out of memory, restart the game' errors, unexpectedly. A Google search revealed a list suggesting changing the page file size. An article mentioned setting it to 1.5 times the RAM minimum and up to 4 times the maximum. Another suggested 1.5 times RAM or 48GB. They provided instructions on how to check, indicating my default is 1750 MB, which is about a third of the recommended minimum. I'm not sure if this applies to my 8TB SSD and 24TB HDD.

Disable auto. Windows 11 performs significantly better than previous versions, making the 1.5X RAM suggestion unnecessary.

It seems odd since the system isn't heavily loaded. The Task Manager shows 21.4 using 9.5 GB free. The largest usage is Edge at 2.2 GB, followed by Steam under 1 GB, WoT at 640 MB, and it's unclear how these add up to 21 GB in use.

Are you running the 32-bit version of the game? Please use the 64-bit version instead.
These suggestions are very old—likely from 15 to 20 years ago.
Configure the pagefile to start at 1GB, with a maximum of 16GB.
Please share a screenshot of your pagefile settings.
(Upload to imgur.com and include the link)

It seems the game is likely 64-bit. I can share screenshots if you like, though they'll appear as the standard setup on a fresh system.

I shared the list of top apps by memory consumption in post 3.

How did you check it? Can you show a screenshot?
That's fine. Show it anyway.

From what we see, there are other processes using RAM.
The pagefile seems less likely to be the issue.

Imgur doesn't provide an easy method to share a photo. After logging in, it prompts you to download an app instead of offering a straightforward way to upload a screenshot. The only details the image would display are that the page file size is 1750mb. The game was converted to 64-bit in 2022 and doesn't support different 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
