Windows 10: hardware reserved 2.0 GB of the 8 GB ram

why my hardware reserved 2.0 GB ,how it decrease?

:)

 

5.9 GB of 8 GB is listed as hardware reserved!?

My RAM is mem tested and all good. Running Windows 10. 5.9GB is listed as unusable, hardware reserved!!! How do I get it back? Should I want to? My system runs great; no errors. Still, I assume that 5.9 out of 8 GB is excessive.

note: the common "fix" to clear max mem box in msconfig does not work! Tried it. My bios has no memory configuration settings. Where did my RAM go? Anyone, please, have a solution that does work?

 

8 GB RAM installed, yet 4.1 GB is reserved for hardware.

I am also having this issue. I ran the SFC tool and found problems on the first pass, but it said it fixed all of them. I ran it twice more and each time after said it didn't find any integrity violations.

I am running a Cyberpower PC and have attached my Task Manager screen shot. 8 GB RAM installed, yet 4.1 GB is reserved for hardware. Do you have any suggestions?

Why is 8.1 GB reserved for hardware?

Recently I added 8 GB of ram to my machine so that it would run Photoshop more smoothly. But when I installed the memory and ran the program I realized that 8.1 GB of 16 GB is reserved for hardware making only 5 GB available to Photoshop which is not enough.
So I wanted to know if there was a way to reduce the reserve and make more memory available to my system.
