    My usable RAM is set to half.


    My problem is about usable memory, I have 32 GB 2 times 16GB memory RAM, but for some reason just 15,9 is usable, I have seen lots of tutorials on youtube, and 2 weeks ago 1 appeared and worked, and it taught me to set usable memory in the msconfig and it worked, for 2 weeks, now I have the same problem, even worse is that when I go set it in the ms config and press enter it rolls back to just 1 GB of ram, and if I press ok it sets to 0, basically it ignores my command and set to a minimum ram or none at all, it of course still work if it sets to 0, but 1 of the memory cards is not available

    :)

    16GB RAM only 8GB usable on Windows 10 x64

    have 16GB of RAM installed on my computer, but only 8GB is usable. I am running Windows 10 x64. I have tried the following steps to fix this issue, but they have not worked:

    1. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version.
    2. I have tried reseating the RAM modules.
    3. I have tried using different RAM modules.
    4. I have tried run-MSConfig
    I am still not able to use all 16GB of RAM. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    [Ahmed Hashem]

    My usable RAM is set to half.

    Usable RAM reported is much lower than available RAM

    I upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 Pro. It recognizes my 8 GB of RAM but only shows 2.93 GB as usable. I went on line used the suggested msconfig to change the maximum memory in the advanced boot settings to 8192. it was set at 0. I also went into system
    settings and turned off the automatic page filing size under the virtual memory settings. I save the settings and rebooted my computer by the changes to the maximum memory size did not take and were set back to 0. I've tried this several times but still only
    get 2.93 GB of usable RAM of the 8 GB of available RAM reported. Any other suggestions on how to fix this issue would be appreciated
