A bad configuring in bcdedit is recovered but how to make sure the Boot Loader is valid again?

The truncatememory command results in bad configuration by allocating a wrong hexadecimal (probably to insufficient memory 0x1--), system is restored by external cmd*, truncatememory is deletedvalue and allowedinmemorysettings acquires a new value that amounts to 2 GB (from a previous 0x1-- to 0x8--). Task manager reports again the initial 3.5 GB available from 4.0 installed,

but how to be sure allowedinmemorysettings is properly configured? (possibly its initial code included letters with numerics?)

    Hello there,

    Yes the Bootloader should have the exact value .

    The BCD Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider consists of a set of classes exposed as COM objects that support programmatic access to BCD stores. The BcdElement class is the base for all elements. Each BCD element represents a specific boot option. All elements share a common header that describes the element type and data format.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!

    Indicates whether or not an in-memory BCD setting passed between boot apps will trigger BitLocker recovery. This value should not be modified as it could trigger a BitLocker recovery action. The element data format is BcdIntegerElement.

    However, you could check this contiguous query that comes up at

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1160369/to-what-should-be-ascribed-a-discrepancy-in-the-bc

    If you may, do not think it is not congruous with the present query, but it's faithfully constructed..
