Getting memory error trying to debug manage memory with a big minidump file

I'm trying to "Debug Managed Memory" with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition. The file is at 1.2GB and after while loading I get the error message "Memory analysis could not be completed due to insufficient memory" after have been pressing "Debug Managed Memory"

What can I do to still be able to look into the memory with the pdb files? Can I start Visual Studio 2015 with more memory (the computer has 25 GB memory free) I guess it has to do with Visual Studio being running with x86.

What is system error minidump files?

System error memory dump files are generated when your operating system crashes or encounters various blue screen errors. The dump files are stored on the C drive. If you run disk cleanup to scan C drive, you will find the system error memory dump files. You can delete them via disk cleanup.

It could be related to VisualStudio bug

see the following link

as a workaround they are suggesting about turning off automatic symbol loading before starting analyzing dumps (i.e. Tools -> Options ->Debugging -> Symbols -> Select "only specified modules")
