While performing recording using Nintex studio, it gives release memory message as shown below:

 

Instructions 
The error in the screenshot indicates that Nintex Studio paused the recording due to low system memory, suggesting that insufficient available memory is likely the cause.

There must be a buffer of 20% free memory otherwise this error will appear.

Follow these steps to diagnose and troubleshoot the issue:
1. Verify System Memory
Check Physical Memory: Ensure your system has sufficient RAM (ideally, 8 GB or more for such applications).
Available Memory: Open Task Manager to check if most of the memory is being consumed by other processes.

2. Analyze Event Viewer Logs
To confirm the issue using Event Viewer logs:

-  Open Event Viewer (Win + R, type eventvwr, and press Enter).

  • Navigate to:
    Windows Logs → Application or
    Windows Logs → System

- Look for warnings or errors related to Nintex Studio or memory issues.
- Keywords to search: “Low Memory”, “Nintex”, or “Screen Recording”.
- Cross reference the timestamp of the log with the time the issue occurred.

3. Check Graphics/Driver Issues
A driver conflict or outdated drivers can cause memory leaks or increased memory usage.
- Update Display Drivers

  • Ensure your graphics drivers are updated.

Check for Driver Issues:

  • In Device Manager, look for display adapters or mirror driver entries and ensure they have no warnings (yellow exclamation marks).


4. Free Up System Resources
Close Unnecessary Applications: Shut down background programs that consume memory.
Increase Virtual Memory:

  • Go to System Properties → Advanced → Performance Settings → Advanced Tab → Virtual Memory and increase the paging file size.


5. Review the studio's appsettings file
(C:\Program Files\Nintex RPA Studio\Config\appSettings.config)

<add key="FreeMemoryPrecentageThreshold" value="20"/>

Reduce the number as needed. but remember not to move it too low in case it crashes the studio.
