    Hi Bảo Sơn Lê

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    You should never set that setting to 'No Page File' or set a manual amount either, you should always let Windows Manage your Virtual Memory, otherwise you either may not be able to boot up windows or you may experience many problems with software such as lagging.

    What is the problem you are experiencing with RAM on your PC?

    That is perfectly normal in Windows, the rest of your RAM is set aside for hardware, there is nothing wrong with your RAM configuration.

    There is no method to use all of the installed RAM.

    One or more of these links may be useful:

    These bat script links are used in Ten Forums and Eleven Forum to:

    a) check the operating system

    b) check the component store

    c) check the drive file system

    d) set startup and recovery system failure and virtual memory / page file to optimal settings

    It's also best to have the paging file on the Windows drive.

    (bat scripts by default prompt antivirus software and require manual overrides)
