If the error message:
```OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x000001cfdf610000, 10485760, 0) failed; error='The paging file is too small for this operation to complete' (DOS error/errno=1455) ```

Correctly reflects the error, raising the requested heap size won't help.  The size of the paging file isn't sufficient.
Without knowing how the system configuration its hard to come to a conclusion.
Perhaps one of the systems used to run GHA has an inconsistently sized page file.
