The actual hell? Why does my laptop only using 3.9 GB of ram when it recognizes 6GB? It's bottlenecking and causes the entire user experience to be utterly slow!! Okay guys, I'll come clean. I've been tinkering around with some settings in MsConfig and disabling things like windows search in Run, as for the advice that has been brought to me from my previous post here: But afterwards... I've realized that EVERYTHING is moving slow...I can't even play online games because the disk is at 100% and everything freezes at the log in screens! As you can see in the attached pic, you'll see that it's a 64-bit Windows 10 OS, so of course, it can use more than 4GB of ram. So what option may I have fiddled with to cause it to limit itself to only using 4gb? What is it that I can do reset the ram to use its 6gb of ram again? I know I need to upgrade to an SSD, but I can't live with 4GB of ram usage! EDIT: I censored my product key.

It indicates 6 GB of RAM was set up but only 3.91 GB is available. This happens because Windows consumes a lot of resources. If you're interested, I suggest adding more RAM or switching to Linux.

Could your laptop have been configured to consistently limit itself to 3.9GB of storage?

Confirmed. This has nothing to do with Windows at all. It's related to the hardware and memory.

No, it's not just sitting idle. It actively processes data and manages storage.

Avoid searching for unallocated space; it differs from what you need. Check the BIOS for iGPU memory and extended memory configurations.

The "extended memory" option must be activated. For the iGPU, you should notice a certain amount of RAM available for allocation.
