Hello! Today i re-installed my Computer (windows 10). When i tried to change my Virtual Memory it says i only have "recommended" 1664. Before it said like 3000 something recommended.

Posted some screenshots. If someone have any ide how and why this happened please help me.
I have tried to take out my RAM and clean the ports and swtiched places nothing happenened.
Have tried change the MAXIMUM memory inside "msconfig" to and it says i only can use 2000. Tried to check the box and uncheck it but still the same.

msconfig advanced: https://gyazo.com/cb41d3725b83bfc2dc298c741979fadc

virtual memory is not the same as RAM. it is the size of the hidden c:\pagefile.sys on your hard drive.
windows memory manager copies sections of physical memory (RAM) to and from the pagefile.sys (on disk)

the pagefile.sys will expand as your system needs additional pagefile space. the more physical RAM you have the less the windows memory manager needs to copy data from RAM to the pagefile.sys

So dosent matter if i have 2000 or 5000 on Virtual Memory page? Should not mess with my computers performance?
Why can i only use 2000 inside msconfig advanced then? Before i could have it on 6144, and that was max. As shown in the picture i posted.
