One RAM module is not detected on Windows 11

My Windows 11 system only detects one of my two installed RAM modules, and I've already tried reseating both sticks. The BIOS shows both modules correctly, but Windows reports only half the total memory, and I'm looking for troubleshooting steps to resolve this detection issue.

    A large portion of your RAM may be set aside for hardware and integrated graphics, which can be the root of the issue.
