STATUS_WORKING_SET_LIMIT_RANGE
The requested working-set range cannot be applied
A process working set is the set of its pages currently resident in physical memory. APIs that set minimum and maximum values are policy hints constrained by privilege, system capacity, and the relationship between the two limits. This warning means the requested range could not be accepted as specified.
Do not confuse working-set size with committed virtual memory or page-file size. Increasing a limit does not reserve RAM and does not solve a system commit shortage. Record the exact minimum, maximum, flags, and privilege state, then measure whether the workload is actually faulting because of trimming before changing policy.
What to inspect
- Check that the minimum does not exceed the maximum and both values meet API constraints.
- Record whether SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege or other required rights were available.
- Compare working-set faults and resident pages with process commit before changing the limits.
