The installed memory room read 16GB but useable memory would have (8GB). I have it corrected now after removing and reinstalling the RAM but I was hoping to find a better solution than opening up my desktop every time I want to run something else.

Yeah, even when it’s not running but it only happens the next time I restart my computer after running Cakewalk.

The weirdest part is that it doesn’t occur when I first run Cakewalk. It’s the next time I boot up my PC that the RAM is cut in half but it only does it after I run cakewalk

It isn’t running in that one, that’s after 2 or 3 restarts and some troubleshooting in msconfig.

I’ve run every other program I regularly use but it only happens when I run cakewalk. It’s a desktop running a full license Windows 10 64bit. I’m running the free version of Sonar

Hey I’m pretty new to Cakewalk. My PC has 16GB of RAM but every time I run Cakewalk it cuts 8GB away and marks it as “Hardware Reserved” so I’m only getting access to half my RAM. I can fix it by removing and reinstalling the cards but it’s a massive pain when I want to use my PC for gaming. Is this normal or does it at least have a work-around? I’m thinking about upgrading to 32GB but I don’t want to waste the money just to have it eat up half of that too.
