Hi, everyone out there, 

I have 16 GB ram but my photoshp 2020 version 22.5.6 20220204.r.749 810e0a0 x64, shows only 4 GB in total Ram slider, I had fixed my 2018 with regedit after reading an article posted right here, but how does it work with 2020. Thanks for giving a quick read.

Can you post screenshot please? I have 32 GB RAM installed, Photoshop shows 25GB available. Thats normal because OS and services will ocuppy significant portion of your RAM memory that does not count as available to Photoshop and other apps.

removed one RAM module but still it picks half of it.

 

clearly windows shows 8GB but photoshop doesn't recognize that.

With total of 8 GB RAM installed it is normal that Photoshop recognizes 4GB because the rest is occupied by OS and can not be used. Above screenshot is OK.
