    3GB Switch Question


    We are deploying 32bit and 64bit Win7 PCs here. I accidentally ran: BCDEDIT.EXE /Set IncreaseUserVa 3072 on a 64bit PC.

    So, did I just restrict this PC to only using 3GB? And if I did, is there anything I can do to reverse it?

    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks for your help TGSoldier. Your response got me on the right track. The entry that worked was:

    bcedit.exe /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa
    I had to remove the 3072, I guess the 3072 was confusing it.

    Thanks again!

    Increasing User Virtual Address is ignored on 64bit.
