Adobe Photoshop CS6 64-bit doesn't recognize full RAM amount

Hello folks,

I'm having a weird problem with Photoshop CS6 as well as CC 2018, both 64-bit variants, in a 64-bit windows 10 pro. I have 8GB of RAM installed and I can verify the system is recognizing all the ram in task manager as well as other softwares, but Photoshop is only showing around 3 GB as available RAM. And I have double checked, I'm running the 64-bit variant of photoshop, both CS6 and CC 2018. And my OS is also 64-bit capable. I cannot understand why would this happen.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    Hi

    Are you on Windows 10 version 1803, if so try this workaround

    Error while accessing performance preferences - 'An integer between 96 and 8 is required.'

    The 120.0 will correspond to Photoshop CC 2018 and Photoshop CS6 will be 60.0, you will need to create a new DWORD for each

    Make sure to follow the instructions carefully
