Hello, welcome. This might have appeared elsewhere, but I wasn’t looking for this. My setup includes an HP Z420 with 64 GB of DDR3 ECC RAM (eight 8GB modules). I rely on Solidworks and Solidworks Simulation for my tasks. Despite heavy workloads, Windows 10 limits RAM usage to around 20GB. The page file is configured at 64GB–100GB on drive D (Kingston NVMe). Is this a limitation at the application or operating system level? Also, I’ve tried adjusting the “Maximum Memory” option in System Configuration’s Boot settings, but it doesn’t make a difference.

The system doesn’t have a 20GB OS limit in Windows 10. Your image shows 26GB or more in use, with the remainder available. Make sure your tasks truly need that amount of memory.

I would recommend to set that to "automatic" there's typically no need for user interaction with this setting (the one thing windows is good at is managing RAM)
