    Hi TePe,

Hi,

 

THANKS for the instant feedback! At least that should made clear in the documentation because then you need to monitor drive c: so it doesn't run out of disk space...

 

So do you have any other idea why the Gateway might need so much memory (eating up 32GB in total)?

 

Best Regards,
