Hi,
I've noticed that every time I start Media Composer these two lines about memory is written to the EVENTLOG.LOG (located at C:\Users\Public\Documents\Avid Media Composer\Avid FatalErrorReports).
20190523095416 Ready Application ready for user
20190523095417 Memory AWEPhysMemAllocWIN::ToggleLockPagesPrivilege LookupPrivilegeValue Failed Error:1300
20190523095417 Memory PhysicalMemoryAllocatorWin32::Create will NOT use AWE Allocations
Should I be worried about that?
I've looked around the web and found out that AWE is "Address Windowing Extensions" that is "a set of extensions that allows an application to quickly manipulate physical memory greater than 4GB" according to Microsoft https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/memory/address-windowing-extensions
The page says that for it to work "An application must have the Lock Pages in Memory privilege to use AWE. To obtain this privilege, an administrator must add Lock Pages in Memory to the user's User Rights Assignments."
At Avid I've found a couple of mentions of this "Lock pages in Memory":
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/How_To/Windows-User-Rights-Requirements-for-Media-Composer says that the MC installer creates a usergroup with the requered privileges.
And the ReadMe for MC 8.5 has a section about AWS - page 9-11 on http://resources.avid.com/SupportFiles/attach/README_Avid_Editor_v8.5.pdf
