# Debugger Services Running Out of Memory
21+
The Debugging Services ran out of memory and caused the termination of the debugging session.
22+
23+
## To investigate this error on Windows
24+
- You can check the process memory graph in the **Diagnostics Tools** window to see if the target application is experiencing huge growth in memory. If so, use the **Memory Usage** tool to diagnose what is the underlying issue, see [Analyze memory usage](../profiling/memory-usage.md).
25+
26+
- If the target application does not seem to be consuming a lot of memory, use the **Task Manager** window to check out memory usage of Visual Studio (devenv.exe), the worker process (msvsmon.exe), or of VS Code (vsdbg.exe/vsdbg-ui.exe) to determine if this is a debugger problem. If the process running out of memory is devenv.exe, consider reducing the number of Visual Studio extensions running.
