Virtual Machine : Not enough Physical Memory is available to power on

Hi Guys,

Most of us use VM's to practice different tools in our personal machines. Today i just observed an issue where my VM's struck and when i tried to restart i received the below error.


I did some research and found that this is because of a windows update on Windows 8 and above versions . By the way i'm using Windows 10 and VM build 10. The VM is with Windows 7 64 bit and 4 GB ram.

Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features, then select View installed updates at the top left corner.




Locate Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2995388) and uninstall it. This is a optional update for Windows 8 and above.



Please restart the machine and try accessing the VM now it should work just fine.
