first off this happens and windows dosent use it and instead uses 3/6 gb of ram i can use

heres what i did to fix

factory reset pc on windows 10 multiple times

changed pc to windows 11

factory reset on windows 11

it seems that battlefield has made it worse because before i played it my hardware reserved ram was below 2gb now its 10gb reserved

I've tried changing stuff in registry to fix it

I've tried changing virtual memory

I've tried changing boot memory

none of which worked

    What computer do you have? What CPU, GPU, memory, storage does it have? Your question should likely be in the section for your laptop instead of the Windows 11 one, since it acts the same in W10.

    I'll ask you the same questions... Without more information we can't even make bad guesses.

    Go to Task Manager>Performance>Memory. What does it show ?

    Post screenshots from your taskmanager RAM usage screen.

    What does Task Manager>Performance>Memory say ?

    Here is an example of a Ryzen5 4600G also Radeon Graphics with 16gb RAM and running Windows 11 Pro.
