“The data area passed to a system call is too small” error when Windows Store app after installing with more than 8GB memory in use

Solution 1:

There is an incompatibility issue with MS SQL Server 2017 (and 2014/2016). If possible uninstall SQL Server. Otherwise these patches can solve the issue:

If you use it just for dev purpose, it's possible to run in a Docker container instead, which runs isolated enough to prevent this error. I have very good experience running SQL Server 2017 for Linux, which is stable and fast.
