Windows 10 Not All RAM Usable FIX

Not all RAM is usable Windows 10/8/7 - How to fix.

Fix Windows 10 not using full RAM: Many users have reported that their system fails to utilize installed available memory instead only a portion of memory is displayed in Task Manager and only that memory is usable by Windows. The main question remains that where are the other part of memory gone? Well, before answering this question let’s see what actually happens, for example, a user have 8 GB installed RAM but only 6 GB is usable and displayed in Task Manager.

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a computer storage devices which is frequently used to store the type of data that is being used by Operating System increase the general speed of a system. Once you shutdown your system all the data in the RAM is erased as it’s a temporary storage device and is used for faster access to data. Having more amount of RAM ensures that your system will run smoothly and will have a good performance as more RAM would be available to store more files for faster access. But having a good amount of RAM but not being able to use it is very annoying for anyone and that’s what the case here. You have programs and games that required a minimum amount of RAM to run but again you won’t be able to run these program as you have less available RAM (even though you have installed a large amount of memory).

Why Windows 10 not using full RAM?

In some cases some portion of RAM is a system reserved, also sometimes some amount of memory is also reserved by Graphic Card is you have an integrated one. But if you have a dedicated Graphic Card then this shouldn’t be a problem. Obviously, 2% of RAM is always free for example if you 4GB RAM installed then usable memory would be between 3.6GB or 3.8GB which is perfectly normal. The above case for users who have installed 8GB RAM but only 4GB or 6GB is available in Task Manager or System Properties. Also, in some cases, BIOS can reserve some amount of RAM making them unusable by Windows.

When I did the first part msconfig I changed the max memory but when I go back to check it comes up as 0?

[InquiringMindsKnow]

I have 8 DDR2 installed, and windows recognized the 8 but says only 4 is usable. I did your fix three times and it always reverts back to 0. What can I try now? Thanks for your help

Chrome: hippity hoppity ur ram is now my property

Windows: hippity hoppity I'm only gonna let you use half you're memory

[sergioluiz]

For me what worked was enter BIOS setup - Advanced Chipset Setup - Memory Remap Feature - changed from DISABLED to ENABLED. Saved the change, rebooted the computer and now I can use 5.87GB of 6GB installed. Previously, only 3.12GB of the 6GB were usable.

I've tried your instruction which is simple to follow, but nothing changed, unfortunately. I have 8gb DDR3 installed but can only access 3.9gb. I tried it a couple of times making sure I followed every detail, still not registering.

After using these settings my laptop is having issues(not booting up and having the blue screen just after the HP logo😢)
Any Help!?

[paulturbett]

Man, thank you. Your video increased my RAM from 4.65 to 10.8! Thank you! I have 12g but very happy with the increase. I did reorganize the RAM into different ports first which increased how much windows was noticing by 4g! But still wasnt using it. Your video changed that. Cheers!

[lukeker]

[aidannoon]

I have 16gb of ram and only 15.2 was usable and after this its went DOWN to 14.2. wtf. what should I do? reverse all the changes or start over in case I've done something wrong?

[JoJoooo-qb]

I have a problem, i have a 20gb of ram and it says 19.8gb is usable, but it only uses 5 gb, sometimes 4, and sometimes 8. When i did this nothing happened. I just want my ram to stay atleast at 16gb. Please anyone help me with this

[gonerimsrbc]

For those who could not solve the problem by doing the msconfig thing, I do it by changing the memorys from one slot to the other. I have 12 GB, 8 and 4. And only 3.69 RAM usable, and by switching slots, now I have 11 GB usable. Try it, at least. It works for me (sorry about my english).

[smarterdesignsuk]

Amazing! For some reason my computer started saying it only had 2GB of 32GB available and everything kept crashing, wouldnt run or slow! I had my RAM modules out, swapping graphics cards, booting safe mode, updating BIOS, Eventually came to your video, turned my page file swapping off, reboot - fixed!

No idea why that happened, night before it started acting up I came back and PC had frozen up....it never crashes! Did a restart and all ok....except the 2GB limit.

So massive THANK
