memory exhausted at 1%

I had no idea where to post this…
I’m on an ASUS laptop with GTX 1050 & 16GB memory.
getting the memory exhausted on top. but task manager shows only 1% used on both nvidia and intel GPU. it does seem a bit laggy but not severely, I guess. this is when loading a new project without ANYTHING being added.

I’ve been having some issues with my GPU etc since a clean windows install but after updating BIOS it seems to be resolved… so I think this is an issue with UE5 alone.

anyone else had this issue? if I start importing assets, am I going to run into problems?
getting back into game design after 5+ years away raising my daughter. now that she’s older, I wanted to get back to work but my desktop is in storage - so gotta use my laptop til I can get it set back up.

thanks in advance!

How much memory on the GPU? I think it might not be up to it…

2 GB for sure isn’t enough. the laptop 1050 is listed (on techpowerup) with 4 GB of vram, tho. you gotta lower all the settings and probably use old school shadow maps. no lumen and no nanite.
