Windows 10: How do I change Max Memory now?

My pc was only using around 1.98GB or the 4GB of ram that I have so I decided to go into the msconfig and change it like I did on the pc I had before. But this time I made a mistake. I believe I set the Max Memory to 0 because it now takes my computer a very long time to start up. I'm wondering if anyone could help me find a solution, such as how to system restore or fix it in the BIOS?

Thanks,

:)

 

Getting Frequent message saying that my computer's memory is getting low, save your files and close the programs.

Hi, What do I have to change for the virtual memory setting ? Do I have to increase the custom size of max virtual memory from now 4096 MB to say 10000 MB ? Is this max paging file size the only setting I have to change ? The paging file size is from 400
to 4096 MB now. I don't have to change the initial paging file size 400 MB ?

 

i want buy n85 or 5800xm, which one is the best?

i have n70 how much it memory expansion max. or how much extra memory?

 

Hello Hanable, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Other than changing it back after Windows finally starts up, or you could do a system restore at boot using a restore point dated before you made this change to undo it.

When you boot Windows USB - go to Repair - Troubleshooting - CMD - try to run those:
Code: bcdedit /deletevalue {current} removememory bcdedit /deletevalue {current} truncatememory bcdedit /deletevalue {default} removememory bcdedit /deletevalue {default} truncatememory[/quote] When you enter just "bcdedit", you should actually see, what setting is used as well as your identifier.

And thank you both for such a quick response

 

If you still can boot into windows then just open the admin command prompt and type:
bcdedit /deletevalue {default} truncatememory

Then reboot

FYI, You should leave everything unchecked from msconfig.
Windows default is to use max values available.
The only time you'd set it to lower # for diagnostic purpose.

 

SO lets say my pc is using .98GB of ram right now and it is normally started out using 1.98GB if i enter bcdedit /deletevalue {defualt truncatememory it will go back to the 1.98GB?

 

You can boot Windows Setup from USB/DVD without booting Windows and open CMD from there.

To add, use the Command Prompt to Run as Administrator. Start, W section, System, right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Once it is open, showing on the Taskbar, I like to right-click that icon and Pin to Taskbar. PowerShell is the replacement and I'm trying to learn it but the familiar things tend to work faster for me.

 

Little tip: Even in Powershell, you can use cmd, just open an elevated powershell prompt, and type CMD, now you can use it like the good old command prompt. Just discovered that by accident toying around with powershell...

 

It will take you long time to complete it , it took me 3 h ,
