No worries!
I will be honest, I know a lot less about computers than I do networks. Really, what I am finding online about issues similar to yours is related to the “paging file size.” I am not sure if or how exactly you might start getting this unless something changed recently on your computer, as far as hardware/software or possibly a configuration change.

I would check out that link, it seems to be very similar to what issues you’re experiencing. The comments provide a little basic understanding of what is going on, as well as how to fix it. The original poster came across a hurdle trying to solve his issue, and edited with a work around to that, too.
If you want a more thorough explanation towards exactly what might be going on and the fix, Microsoft has a document for that:

I’d be curious to see if this fixes your issue, but I still find it odd that if nothing has changed recently you would start experiencing this. I think at the end of the day it seems like somehow this file/setting was changed or your computer might have an underlying issue.
I am not sure if you use any computer optimization products, such as iolo System Mechanic, but it might be worth something to look/invest into.
Hope this helps!
Edit: Also, I am not sure if you have tried, but it might also be worth while trying to uninstall, and install WoW again. It is a bit of a time consuming process, but sometimes applications and programs can get corrupted in minor ways, and a reinstall can be all it takes to fix it.
