Disk usage 100%

[porozynskil]

Hello, a strange case on a VM with windows server 2022 std shows disk usage almost 100% and the system hangs. Overall occupied with 100GB, allocated VM space 1.5TB. Maybe someone can help?

That is the memory usage, not the usage of the VM disk

If the necessary drivers and the Balloon Agent is installed and running inside the VM, the memory usage should match what the VM sees. If the Balloon Agent isn't running or he Ballooning Device is not present (Memory config in VM hardware), then the memory info in the summary panel is not accurate.

So check the memory consumption in Task Manager. The VM being out of memory could probably also explains why the system seems to hang?

balloon service is running. The server is running Tomcat and SQL Server 2022. When I try to check in task manager what is taking up space the system freezes. Please help.
