Win 7 systems getting : The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations.

I have some win7 systems getting this error in the system event viewer:  The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations.

Now these systems have data stored on them that other system access.  they really just started getting the error about 3 weeks ago. After looking it up it shows that it usually because the system is used as a server and getting alot of connections from other systems.

Any way to verify this this, or how many connections these systems are getting?

Performance monitor ought to do it. Add a counter for Server... Server Sessions for starters.

I have some win7 systems getting this error in the system event viewer:  The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations.

I have been experiencing the same issue but this only started after the client introduced a Windows 10 Machine into the network. Somedays I need to reboot it ever few hours and then others it will go several days but the only way I can gain access to the shared folder again is to reboot the machine.

Regarding the error, you could try this registry change:

Set HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache to 1 (the default is 0)

Set HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size  to 3 (default is 1)

Restart for the changes to take effect.

I just completed this registry change but cannot reboot the system at this time but will post if this helps me one I am not needing to reboot said system for at least a week!

Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
