Hardware reserved memory suddenly increases to 2.3 gb from 223 mb after bios update. ANV15-51.

Hello

i have been using Acer Nitro v15 (Nitro ANV15-51) (i5 13420h, 16gb ,4050) from last 10 months its running all fine but suddenly after bios version 1.16 update total usable RAM memory droped from 15.7 gb to 13.7gb with a total hardware reserved memory of 2.3gb & O

ut of 2.3gb memory only 223 mb is getting used from graphic rest are just getting wasted.

Earlier i was running on bios version 1.14 i was able to use 15.7 gb ram with just a small hardware reserved memory of 223 mb which was getting used from Graphic.

i have confirmed this issue with few other users of same model. they also got same issue after updating bios.

if anyone has any solution pls help me out becz i dont want to upgrade ram 16 gb is enough for my use but 13 gb is less from me.

i have attached screenshot for hardware reserve memory & reserved memory used for graphic.

Then you guys have to wait for next bios.

I just updated my BIOS to version 1.16 and I'm also having the same problem.

Is there no other procedure that helps with this problem?
