In the first method, you have to open the Run command option on your computer. There are many ways to open the Run command option. One of them is to open the Run command option by pressing the “Window key + R”. Or you can also open the Run command option by searching in your computer. When your run a command dialog box will open. In that, you have to type MSconfig and then click on “ok”. As you can see in the screenshot given below.
After this, a dialog box of “System Configuration” will open. Then you have to click on the “Boot” option on the second number at the top. As soon as you click on the “Boot” option. In that, you will see the “Operating System Windows 10” of your computer and the advanced option as you can see in the screenshot below.
After this, the “Operating System Windows 10” of your computer should be selected. And now you have to click on the “advanced options”. As soon as you click on the “advanced options”. Then the dialog box of “Boot Advanced Options” will open as you can see in the screenshot below. And At the top of “Boot Advanced Options”, you will see two checkboxes. The first check box is “Number of Processors”. On which you have to check and select the maximum number like my laptop has “4” maximum. The maximum number in your computer can be anything else like 6, 8, 10, etc.
The second check box is ” maximum memory” on which you have to check. Now, you must fill your installed RAM in MB in the “Maximum Memory” option. And any number already in this “maximum memory” option. but You have to type your full installed RAM only. For example, the installed RAM on my laptop is 16GB. So I have to fill in 16384. Since 1GB = 1024MB, so 16 GB x 1024 = 16384.
When you fill your installed RAM in MB. After that click on “OK”. As soon as you click “OK”, this dialog box will be closed. Now the dialog box of “MSConfig” remains open.
