This patch allows you to use more than 3/4GB of RAM on an x86 Windows system. Works on Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP0, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (build 10586). Instructions and source code included.

Before using this patch, make sure you have fully removed any other “RAM patches” you may have used. This patch does NOT enable test signing mode and does NOT add any watermarks.
Note: I do not offer any support for this. If this did not work for you, either:
- You cannot follow instructions correctly, or
- You cannot use more than 4GB of physical memory on 32-bit Windows due to hardware/software conflicts. See the comments on this page for more information.
not working with win10 1511 and NVidia driver
error in video driver
Unfortunately not working…
Windows 10 1151 known as windows 10 threshold 2, although this windows same built 10586
use older driver
Unsupported kernel, was the message that I got.
Unsupported kernel version: 10240
I have the same problem. Any solution??
I removed the Evgeny\Escape75 patch for Win 10 (see:https://wj32.org/wp/2013/10/25/pae-patch-updated-for-windows-8-1/ around November 2015), and applied this one by wj32 to check it out.
Works fine foe me on Windows 10 Home with all latest updates. No problems or error messages.

There is no virus.
HI wj32 Whether they will be made to the newer version of the Patch for Windows 10 kernel versions?
Don’t work with intel graphics driver
http://i67.tinypic.com/2cxur8w.jpg
If intel driver remove and install standart vga driver then system work fine but resolution screen low.
Intel HD and Nvidia graphics are known issues. If you have either of these in a PC and you want to use the patch, then it is best to use another video card with different chipsets, eg ATI Radeon.
See my posts of Feb.2017: You can try old drivers. I had success with the NVidia- Win7-driver of 12-9-2013.
I cannot get the loader to update, states Failed every time in windows 7. I tried the patchpae and patchpae2 and both fail patching the loader, kernel seems ok.
I have same issue
I’ve tried to install this patch numerous times and using the latest 3 updates. I have nvidia card, and with the patch booted in screen froze with ‘windows shutting down’, yet when I start the parch in safe mode, it boots fine, and shows all my 8 gb ram. in task manager. It appears to be a video card issue as I know it works with the default vga driver in safe mode.
Is there going to be any more work on this? Thank you.
The only way you will get the patch to work is to replace your video card with one having other than Nvidia chipsets, eg ATI Radeon , as already mentioned.
Or testing old NVidia-drivers, see my posts of Feb.2017
Still trying. I’ll try the very newest patch today or tomorrow. On the patch boot, after the normal animated windows loading screen I get half a correct windows ‘welcome’ screen and jagged half white image with little diamonds and weird patterns and no movement. Must hit reset button. Again, in safe mode, I see all 8 gigs and runs fine. Misconfig has memory unchecked as well. Maybe I could try going back 2 years in nvidia graphics drivers… they only have been adding support for 3d and physics, both of which I don’t use…Worth a try maybe.
Any thoughts?
WARNING!!
There’s fair chance this site has been compromised to some extent.
This new Windows 10 version of the patch is seen as heavily infected by anti-malware scanners.
If you use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine you can download the older versions of the patch (before someone replaced the link URL’s to direct people to the new infected patch).
Those older versions scan completely clean.
The original author of the patch spoke perfect English but the guy claiming to the be author and defending the infected patch in the comment section (using the name evgeny) speaks English poorly.
I looks like he may have the ability to upload infected files but not the ability to disable or remove negative/revealing comments.
It’s also possible that, in the process of making the patch work with Windows 10, legitimate changes needed to be made that trigger heuristics flags in anti-malware scanners. It’s also possible that the older versions also used to trigger those flags but have since been cleared as producers of false positives in the anti-malware databases.
In conclusion, if this new patch it legitimate and not actually infected, I apologize, but there are too many red flags here and I don’t have the C knowledge to check the source code, or the tools to recompile it for comparison. So, I’ll be sticking with the older versions accessible via the Wayback Machine.

You are getting confused. The (unofficial) Win 10 pae patch by evgeny who AFAIK is Russian, has nothing to do whatsoever with this site owner’s (wj32) patch. The patches are completely separate and independent of one another. The evgeny patch for Win 10 was posted before the latest wj32 Win 10 patch became available.
However I have used both with no problems and with no virus’s showing up in either.
The file link posted by escape75 back in November is an executable program that uses the evegeny patch for win 10 and installs it automatically, no manual input is required except to run the program.
evgeny (who I do not have any affiliation with) does not have the ability to upload files to my website. I have not deleted negative comments such as yours because doing so serves no purpose to me.
Once again, there is no virus in the file. AV heuristics naturally come up with false positives. This is one of them.
Unfortunately it crushes into BSOD “SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED” on start, so Windows can’t even dumb anything.
If you are having the same issue, uninstall physical RAM — then you will be able to boot and disable this modification.
Okay, First, this wj32 and patch has been around quite some time and appears to be the most dependable, robust and actively updated one.
There are no viruses in any of this code, but due to how it’s accessing kernals (with your permission) a decent virus/malware should detect something. This is normal, but it’s actually good people pay attention to this sort of thing.
From all my reading and experimenting, I will submit there’s a nvidia and other graphic driver problems.
I’m going to try loading some legacy win XP graphic drivers and test if there’s a different screen upon booting the pae boot option.
I am going this route before screwing around with microsoft updates and such. I believe it’s entirely possible that microsoft has put in code to distrupt this patch from working as they want people to buy another OS like the 64 bit. It’s all marketing as far as I’m concerned. Why else would larger memory work on win 2000 and some other older win OS’s natively and not the newer ones. I feel just reloading graphic drivers has much less potential for problems.
I will report when I’ve got something concrete to say.
I had to use a restore point after messing with too many graphic drivers and created another unrelated issue to the patch.. after fixing my created problem, I read to check for any ram type 3rd party or memory managers running at the same time as pae. I forgot I had a ram drive program resident from before. I disabled that and when I did second paepatch boot option I saw a lower res windows screen and it comes up ‘windows doing repair’ and it attempts to repair. I cancel and reboot with same thing in loop.
This is different than when the ram program was running so maybe I’m getting somewhere.
I will try the nvidia drivers from 2012 or so for win 7, this time with a restore point…
will update results. Always ALWAYS make sure to install this as a second boot option.
wj32 clearly designed an excellent almost fool proof program by giving you the dual boot option…USE IT!!!
hi? does the zip really contains virus? when i downloaded it, my antivirus always blocking it due to malware. Can someone give me an assurance that this has no virus included at all??
TIA..
I have same issue
Works very fine on 2 PC with W10 build 10586.
Both PC are with AMD/ATI graphics.

Hello, I tried wj32 patch early and could not get it to work, tried it again today and it failed to patch winload.exe, so i gave up.
i saw your comment and tried your tool, worked flawless, gj.(win 7 sp1, AMD vga)
I’m thankfully to both wj32 and you for the nice work.
Sir, your patch saved the day. It works flawlessly (so far) for Windows 7 SP1 Professional in a vmware box.
I tried this twice on my windows home 10.. and it just does not work. I get the “something broken” result each time. I followed the instructions for Pae2, but used the pae3 exe to execute them. The files were created, I checked that after running the commands. But upon restart, it won’t boot into this. My windows is 14393. is there some kind of log or something I can check to figure out what the problem might be?
Sorry, it’s windows 10 pro 32 bit version and specifically 14393.693

I followed instructions and it failed to patch the Windows Loader on Windows 7 Professional 32 bit with SP1 (4GB RAM). I just get the Failed message after trying to patch the loader but patching the kernel is fine. I looked in the source code and I guess some hex codes weren’t lining up which is why it didn’t patch properly? Any way we can resolve this issue?
I have same issue
Please don’t use this patch. It is very hard to get rid of it & to boot to the original Windows 10 profile. (After Installing.)

Hi. Thanks for everything. I have a problem in executing the instructions: you said “make sure the directory is in fact system 32”. Then C:\WherePatchPaeis etc.. , Do you mean I have to change directory from System32 back to C:? Also and since I am not a computer wiz, do I copy the whole command line “PatchPae2.exe -type kernel -o ntoskrnx.exe ntoskrnl.exe ” as is after changing to the patch directory?
I have Windows 10 pro, and the message I am getting is: “unable to copy file: The system cannot find the file specified.” Can you please help? I need specific instructions step by step please. Thanks a million
No, check and make sure it is c:/system32 means that inside command prompt window you will actually read the line displaying: “C:/system32>” at this point you indeed copy/paste the whole line exactly as you wrote and press “Enter”.
Remember the command prompt must be with admin rights (right-click the cmd icon and choose “execute as admin”) and remember to substitute the path where you actually have your patchpae2 folder.
Hope it helped…sorry for bad english

Your patch works only for ATI card? I’ve a Intel chipset and nVidia card.
Well it works with anything, but on nvidia and intel you need old drivers
Thanks, just as I thought
will be there any patch for new or recent drivers?
Escape75, the file is no more available!
Please, can you re-upload it on some site?!?
Thank you!
The link is dead! Please, can you re-upload it? also to another site.. THanks

i’ve succesfully patched my windows 7, but it only works when i boot with safe mode (it reads 8 GB RAM)
if i boot windows on regular basis, it always stuck on black screen after windows logo (i supposed it’s because of the VGA drivers)
I’m using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 and processor Core i5 – 3330
please help me…
I think that the problem is always the same. nvidia driver.
You should uninstall the following patch on Windows7: KB3153171, KB3146706, KB3147071
@wj32, is it possible to update the patch so it works with the new patches?
This patch did not work for me, seems to be just a skin, space engineers for example need 8GB of RAM to run, I can not even load a world, the game closes before for lack of memory, when I have 8GB on my pc and not can not install 64-bit due to driver incompatibility (gives BSOD) so I’m using this patch, but appears to be a skin as it did no good to me, it is the same thing as being with 4GB of RAM.
Whilst the patch enables access to more than 4GB of RAM, AFAIK any single 32 bit application can only use up to 4GB.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
Correct, any single application won’t be able to use more then 4GB of RAM.
I have the current build 14366. On reboot it takes windows into auto restore and fails in doing so. Is there a new patch coming ? Would be great help
This means that any of the following patches: KB3153171, KB3146706, KB3147071 or any other new patches that adjust the kernel in such a way that it won’t boot.
You can try Long Path Took, it helped me with the same issues.
Can you explain how to use this and what it is?

Evgeny, your PatchPae3 doesn’t support patching Windows 10 Creators Update (fiel ver. 15063) winload.exe. Could you either update your patchpae or publish source to experienced programmers?

Windows 10 Build 14393:
Everything is working fine.
Thanks.
no hope for nvidia cards?
Very Happy work fine in Windows 10 Build 14393, tank you evgeny, step by step.
I just found out that this doesn’t work for Windows 10 LTSB build 14393. The kernel and winload are different in size, as compared to CB kernels. So in fact the patch only copies the two files without any changes being made to the files itself.
I guess the patch checks the checksum, if it doesn’t match no patching is done.
The patcher however says “patched”, incorrectly so.
Evgeny, can you add support for LTSB builds?
Cheers.
Patch prints “Fail” and exitcode != 0 in this case exactly as wj32.
Checksum never checked.
Can you upload your winload and ntoskrnl?
I just install LTSB 14393 and patch works fine.
Escorpiom, please upload winload and ntoskrnl.
What i did wrong? I follow strictly the list and in the end of process i get the repair mode when try to load patched boot, and attempts to fix the boot doesnt help. I running win 10 14393.82

How did you deal with it? What you do? I follow the list but in the end i get into repair mode as you
In my case the problem was in missing winloadp.exe file, i just copied winload file and add p to the name. After that i done the list steps, and got it working.
wj32 are you working on a 14393-patch?
I am still waiting for your version
Why you are not using patch from evgeny? Works fine with 14393.
Because I do not like what evgeny is doing here…
This ist wj32.org so why does evgeny publish his version here at all???
Yes I am on the very latest version
I am running Windows 10 Pro version 14393 with the evgeny patch V3. All i am asking for is a step by step guide please to insatll it should it be different than the set up for V2 as it is not working and I must have done something wrong.
windows10 10586， bootloader ， error， can not continue to boot
With the latest batch of Windows 10 updates, people may find they have to run “step 3” again to ensure the latest version of the kernel is installed. You will probably have to run unpatched windows in order to get Windows to load.
I started the last windows update. The kernel was updated from 14393.103 to 14393.187. After this, I got a reboot loop. I solved the problem as follows:
– Boot without PAE patch.
– Patch the new kernel 14393.187
– Reboot with PAE patch.
After this, everything works fine.

Have run V3 on W10 14393. Everything gives the correct responses in bdcedit etc, but it doesn’t appear to work, I still have less that 3G usable of the 8G installed. It worked fine on the previous build.
Fixed it! Had to run “bcdedit /set {id} kernel ntknew.exe”. That put a specific kernel entry in the Boot Loader and that appears to have done the trick.
Tested it today with Build 14393.222, works fine.
I installed this patch after upgrading to Win 10. At the “Anniversary Update” (1607) the computer crashed and I reinstalled everything. With today’s update I again got the BSOD, but this time (after enduring all of MS’s attempts to recover the PC) I chose the non-patched Win 10 and it booted up (without full use of 8 GB of RAM). The update knocked out ntoskrnx.exe, but left winloadapp and the boot option. I followed directions to remove the patch leftovers and now will reinstall it (with thanks to B-Lex for assurance that this version of the patch works with the new update). SO: apparently any update that modifies the kernel will require (1)booting to Win 10 plain, and (2) reinstalling the PAE3 patch. The BSOD will let you know.
…However, it didn’t work. Got an error message on the last entry, tried berrycommsIan Berry’s suggestion above, and it brought an error message too. Is that {id} the boot id?
–And this time it did work!–I had entered “[boot id}” instead of the boot id NUMBER in brackets in the last step. Also, I did not need berrcommIan Berry’s additional entry. Some do, some don’t …. Thanks to all!
Hi Don, where would I find this boot id number please? I tried to set this up yesterday but it failed. I’m on Win 10 build 14393.0. If it’s possible to ‘read’ the bootloader in something like notepad could you tell me how to do it please?
After Win10 build 222 I had to restart without the patch using Windows Automatic Repair-Advanced options-Choose another operating system. Msconfig was used to remove the patch.
After re-patching the computer booted ok using the patched OS.
If somebody have problems (reboot loop) after the last update, here is the solution:
– Boot without PAE patch.
– Patch the new kernel (step 3 of help)
– Patch winload (step 4 of help)!!!
– Reboot with PAE patch.
After this, everything works fine.

My PC was bootloop,, don’t try this programs :'(
I applied the patch and booted in with 4gb of Ram, it sees 4 gb, it recognizes 4 gb, but it won’t go past 3.2gb when I try to fill up the ram on Windows 10 14393. Can anybody else confirm this? Can you use more than 3.2gb of ram even if it shows you have Xamount-3.2gb ?
boogie,
You need to check whether the patch has actually been applied.
Either right click ‘This PC’ icon on desktop and then Properties, or Settings-System-about and check installed RAM. It should say 4GB.
If it says some something like 4GB installed, 3.2GB useable, then the patch has not been correctly applied.
You can’t actually use all of the 4GB of RAM installed because Windows requires some for overheads, and if you have onboard video, then some more of that 4GB will be used for video memory.
The other thing to realise is that only 4GB of ram will be used by any one program, even though there may be say, 8 or more GB installed
….boogie,
I should have said only a maximum of 4GB is able to be used by any one program
Nah it’s my bad. It’s just that windows 32bit actually doesn’t let me use over 2.2gb actually which is very weird for me and it leaves 1 gb available and after applying the patch it uses that extra 800 mb to get 3.2 but once again 900 mb available. So the patch works but Windows is acting weird because on my 64bit version I can fill up the ram until I have 200mb left
I have updated to Windows 10.0.14393. The current patch is for Windows 10.0.10586. Is there a way to update the current PAEpatch2 for Windows 10. Thank you. I’m getting an unsupported kernel when I try to Patch my current Windows version.
No, there is no way to update PatchPae2. Please use PatchPae3. See post August 16, 2016 at 8:56 am from evgeny in this thread.

Hi!
I used PAEPATCH for a long time, in several Windows versions, without problem.
Today I updated to Windows 10 1607 (kernel 14393.447). However couldn’t install PAEPATCH again (Error message: Unsupported kernel version: 14393).
Please, can you help me?

Working great on my device running win 10 build 10586. At first i forgot to turn on DEP and got error but it work when i turn DEP on again. So for some1 get error at first check ur win ver if it s supported, and DEP must be on.
Hey community,
what is your experience when you use USB devices on PAE patched OS?
I found out, that for me connecting USB devices fails every time I boot PC with PAE.
PC note that device is attached, but init of driver fails. In settings, under devices, I found note: Driver error.
When I boot PC without PAE, USB devices works.
My kernel 14393.351.
Dear developer(s), it is possible to resolve this issue?
Yuri, Re your posting on 30 November, Indeed you are correct, I hadn’t noticed before since I use mainly Win 8.1, but USB memory sticks do not install correctly and do not show up in ‘This PC’.
Trying to update driver is not successful as it is already the most up to date.
I am using Evengy’s patchpae3 downloaded from his posting of 16 August
Also having this problem. Help please!

In both environments the system shows 4.00 gb (3.00 gb usable)
I’m running kind of a complex setup. A little background, my motivation stems from ACT! 2008 not being installable on 64-bit OSs. So, I loaded it on a Windows 10 Enterprise x86 Hyper-V VM along with RDP Wrap, RemoteApp Tool, and PatchPAE3. All successful. I published the app with RemoteApp, the system shows that it has 8GB of RAM and I have 6 users using it simultaneously from their PCs.
The problem is, once the system hits between 3.0 and 3.2 GB of RAM used (the system, as a whole, has never gone past 3.2 GB used), new connections start bombing out with an RDP protocol error of 0x112f. Looking it up seems to point to memory restrictions on the host PC. So, I don’t know if PatchPAE3 isn’t working or if a Windows behavior regarding memory allocation to a single exe even if there are multiple instances of it (so, like a shared pool per exe even if there are six of them running, they all pull from a fixed amount…maybe?). Does anyone know or can point me in the right direction?
Just a guess, but the problem may well be a limitation of PAE in a 32 bit system. Even though more than 4GB RAM is recognised as installed, only up to 4GB per program can be used.
So if you have multiple instances of the same program running, then problems may arise if more than 4GB
is tried to be accessed. I guess multiple instances of a program is not the same as running different programs.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to comment better than me !
can you do a patch like that for win7 x64 home ? because it allows only 8 or 16 Go of ram
may be you can it to x86 release ?
have a good xmas day
Good day all

Hi Wen Jia,
Thank you very much for your work. I didn’t use my laptop for some time and therefore the Win10 Anniversary update hadn’t been installed until now. After updating it, the patch doesn’t work no more. I get the error “Unsupported kernel version: 14393”
It would be very kind if you could create an updated version of your patch. Thank you very much!

Can I do this on a windows 10-PE(x86) image .wim file, like the gandalf (win32) 11-07-2016 redstone
Just tested with HP p6029de, 6GB RAM, BIOS 5.43 and Win10Pro 1511 build 10586.545 – and it works. SYSTEm shows full 6GB RAM.
Ahh – sorry, I forgot: I have used patchpae2. What is the difference to the later patchpae3 in regard of Win10?
Because Win10 only installed the driver for MS Basic Display Adapter for the pre-installed old NVidia GeForce GT120 I tried the latest NVIDIA-Win10-driver 21.21.13.4201 of 11-14-2016: Win10 w/o 4GB-patch booted but Win10 with 4GB-patch did not boot to the end.
The same effect was with 4GB-patched Win7 and the latest NVIDIA-Win7-driver (same version). I tested all available old Win7-driver from newest to oldest and at last 4GB-patched-Win7 started with the older NVIDIA-Win7-driver 9.18.13.3221 of 12-19-2013.
Because the oldest Win10-driver is of 07-29-15 (and so not old enough) I tried this Win7-version-9.18.13.3221 also with the 4GB-patched Win10 – and it worked. Surprise, surprise.
Hello Michael,
you asked for the difference between patchpae2 and 3.
Patchpae2 does not work on current win10. For current win10, patchpae3 is required.
If you can use patchpae2 without error message, your win10 is old.
Best regards
akapuma
Yes, it is Win10Pro 1511 build 10586.545.
But what is the substantial difference between the both programs? I know that patchpae2 modifies some byte in the kernel-file, changes the memory-limit. Does patchpae3 does the same, only at other places due to a updated and so different kernel-file?
It works! I used Evengy’s PatchPae3.
My setup:
– Windows 10 Pro (32bit) 10240 Build
– Intel HD Graphics 530
– Gigabyte mobo (GA-H170-HD3)
I able to use all my 8GB DDR4 RAM, don’t need change display adapter driver, no issue about USB devices, no BSOD, thanks!.
can anyone upload a new link for patchpae3? The Evengy’s link does not work.

Hi
@evgeny
I’m trying to run your PatchPAE3 on Windows 10 Pro \ Version 1607 \ OS Build 14393.693, but get nothing, no even an error notification.
same here…does not work on OS Build 14393.693
Now I have updated to Win10-32 v.1607, built 14393.693, and done the modification again with patchpae3 (the same hardware, HP p6029de, 6GB RAM, BIOS 5.43) and it works as with patchpae2 and v.1511.W/o the patch system reports 6GB RAM and useable 3,35GB RAM, with the patch it reports 6GB RAM.
I am not very surprised because patchpae3 modifies the same byte-sequences in the kernel-file as patchpae2 and in the same way and so the result should be the same.
But of course the problem with the NVidia-driver for GT 120 is the same – I have to use the old Win7-driver 332.21 (9.18.13.3221 of 12-19-2013). This is an origin problem of the driver, not an origin problem of the 4GB-kernel-patch, although this “bug” of the driver only appears with the 4GB-kernel-patch.
I have also tested it in an old Medion-PC with a MCI-7204-Motherboard, which can take 4GB RAM only. Surprisingly with and w/o the patch system reports only 3,35GB RAM. Seems as if some some-devices makes Windows to see only 3,35GB and not the actual 4GB. Strange. I hoped getting usage of the full 4GB RAM.
Thank you very much for this your comment, it was really crucial. Any other driver (327, 341 and 384) did not work.
Hello @Michael
Could you write down steps that you performed when patching you Windows 10 built 14393.693?
I really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
I have done the modifications exactly as described in the patchpae2-“manual”, with both PC (of course path and filename changed to patchpae3-location and -name) by copy&paste the commands to the elevated-command-window.
Additional I have also checked that the modifications of the kernel- and winload-file were done by comparing the original and modified files (I have used the “universal”-tool Total Commander for this).
When all the step are performed and the answers of the programs/Windows to each command are correct then Windows boots with the modified files.
I would suggest also compare the files and if the files are different (and so modifications are done) checking the new boot-entry with bcdedit or with EasyBCD (which is also helpful in many other cases).
For me, 14393.693 works fine with patchpae3. Installed RAM is 4GB.
With patch; 3,46GB usable.
Without patch: 2,47GB usable.
Using AMD A10-5700 with integrated ATI graphics.
Best regards
akapuma
Absolutely strange that
– you have this large difference between with and w/o patch AND even with patch not the complete 4GB RAM
– my old MCI-7204-MB shows 3,35GB with AND w/o patch.
You will never get 4GB of usable RAM with a 32 bit Windows OS even with PAE. Firstly an integrated graphics video adapter will take up whatever has been allocated in the BIOS, and then there is the RAM used for overheads.
With a separate graphics card up to around 3.5GB will be usable, maybe a little less depending on motherboard and the hardware you have. PAE may only give an extra 200+MB or less depending on hardware.
So, it is a moot point as to whether the PAE is worthwhile if only 4GB is installed.
Interestingly with 8GB installed on a patched win 10 machine and also on a patched win 8.1 machine, both with separate AMD Radeon (ATI) graphics cards, both report in ‘Properties’ that 8GB is installed, there is no statement of ‘usable ‘ memory.
This is not so easy, sorry.
With the MSI-7204-Motherboard and 4GB RAM System reports only 3.35GB RAM w/o message about availabe or useable RAM and doesn´t matter whether w/ or w/o the patch. And this although the MSI-7204 does NOT has Video onboard.
With the above reported HP p6029de (Motherboard Pegatron Benicia) and 4GB RAM (I have removed one 2GB-module) System reports w/o patch 4GB and useable 3.25GB RAM (Benicia has Video onboard, but disabled due to the used GeForce GT120). And with patch System reports the complete 4GB w/o any limitation to a smaller available/useable RAM.
It is the same bevaiour as with 6GB RAM: W/o patch System reports 6GB RAM existing and 3.25GB RAM useable, w/ patch 6GB existing.
So with the HP p6029de (Motherboard Pegatron Benicia) the patch really gives access to the “missing” 0.75GB RAM and so to the complete 4GB (if “only” 4 GB is installed).
I have another PC available for tests, a HP dc7900. I will test it this evening.
I’ve tested it on another 32 bit system by installing 14393.693 and it just does not work with PatchPAE3_2016_08_15.zip…absolutely nothing changes if i boot from the original vs. the modded boot option.There’s not even a byte changed in the executables if you compare it with windiff.
can someone upload some files…I would love to see the diff…ntknew.exe,winldnew.exe
Actually there is a change..I used a different tool…
Can you share which tool you used?
compare it
http://www.grigsoft.com/wincmp3.htm
I also tested it with notepad++ with the hex plug-in
would you reply me my friend?
even thought there is a 2 byte change on the executable, I still can only use 3gb…..I have a discrete gpu and ram is not shared.
I didn’t understand what this programme is for. But I thank you for sharing anyway.
Hello Michael, well OK you are quite right, I had forgotten or got mixed up, a problem with 80 year old memory! With 4GB and system patched, 4.00GB is reported as installed with no mention of usable memory.
As regards the MSI motherboard, that is odd. Maybe run a memory test program like Memtest to see if it is all working OK ?
The BIOS-test shows complete 4GB w/o problems. But “missing” 0.65 GB is not really disadvantegous. The PC/MB is old, is not really fast using Win7 or Win10 (when bought with WinXP nearly 13 years ago it was the highlight in our house, even with 512kB – tempus fugit), it´s o.k for emailing, writing and a little bit surfing, looking some vids on youtube etc., so far even the 3.35GB are not needed and used complete.
In the manual of the MSI-7204-MB I found the explanation, that due to the limitiations of the chipset not more than 3GB could be used. The truth seems to be that this chipset does not has the feature of “switching” the adresses of the RAM-area used by other devices (videocard etc.) into the area above the physical memory resp. the regular 4GB-adress-area. So is is a matter of the MB and it´s chipset how much of the 4GB can be used.
Where can I download patchpae3 ?

Tried on Windows 10 32bit, pc restarted and never start again. Now corrupted the HDD (which is a flash MLC 32GB). Show 12.5GB free space, can´t format it, can´t delete partition… tried as external hdd on other pc, tried with aomei partition assistant, tried with easeus partition master, tried on the original pc starting with usb Windows 10 install, can´t repair, can´t reinstall, with CMD can´t format it, even with diskpart can´t do anything. How to solve this?

year 2013 – up today.

@pixelboy
It’s true.
All AMD Graphic Cards works with this patch (for me).
Intel Graphic Cards might work with new version driver (My HD4600 PCs work with 20.19.15.4404 driver now).
Nvidia Graphic Cards only works with 331.82 and earlier version driver.

What nvidia driver version you are using?
I have NVidia Geforce 8400M GT (in laptop) (and latest Win 10 Build 14393) and got the “VIDEO TDR” blue screen using Patchpae3. Based on others having same NVidia issues with patch as well – I installed the oldest one I could find for Win 7 (as post suggested) – which was 8400M GT driver (10/23/2013 – 9.18.13.3165)
Win 10 will update that driver to the latest that doesnt work with patch. You have reboot without patched kernel then “roll back” via device managler.
This works most of the time about 90% – but still occasionally crashes and luckily reboots instead of those couple different blue screens.
that driver version also known as 331.65
howto: install old driver version and prevent installation of newer version of driver

Does this patch work with the new AMD Ryzen platform ( especially the drivers )? Using Windows 7 SP1.
Will gladly switch to AMD if it does.
Apparently you can’t run Win7 on the Ryzen platform because there is no driver support.
https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd/ryzen-windows-7-drivers
I’d have thought if you go to a new PC build then you’d get Win 10 64 bit OS, and hence no need for this patch ?
I don’t think the patch is hardware dependent………..AFAIK………….
driver for CPU? marketing’s bullshit.
You are right. The patch is hardware independent.
No, I was wondering about this patch affecting the AMD drivers for display, network, etc.
Intel drivers are not compatible with this patch. I just wanted to confirm that the same problem does not exist for AMD drivers.
afaik, only Windows 7 update may not work with Ryzen.
I use this patch to boot Win7 32-bit from memory (using firadisk driver + grub4dos). It works well with my old AMD system – poor man’s SSD

Just confirming your latest patch works OK with OS Build 15063.13, thanks evgeny
THANK YOU EVGENY!
I have a computer running a PC3000 UDMA card for data recovery. It is an older card no longer supported by ACE Lab. There is no way in hell that will ever get a 64-bit driver. And i really needed more than 4GB RAM to be able to run another logical data recovery program at the same time with the PC3000 application, if i tried to run both one of them crashed after a few hours. The computer is running licensed Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit. Windows asked for reactivation after i changed the graphics card, but it verified the license no problem with just a couple clicks. So this patch can be run on a legitimate business copy of Windows.
I was able to patch the kernel and loader using your patch, and successfully installed another 4GB DDR3 memory stick and have 8GB RAM recognized and usable. There was a nVidia 8400GS Rev 3 graphics card in this PC, it started showing artifacts on the shutdown screen with 4GB after applying the patch, and completely crashed when i installed 8GB. I have removed the nVidia card and replaced it with an ATI Radeon HD5450. Installed the last driver version provided by AMD in 2016, the graphics card is fully functional without any issues. The computer behaves well now, and so far the data recovery applications have not crashed again.
Many many thanks, you have saved me a lot of frustration (and saved our clients time). I would like to donate a few bucks for your efforts. Do you have Paypal?
Any chance of releasing the source code for this 15063 updated version?
later, with updated fix128, as usual.
One click solution (PAE Patch 2.1) based on above PatchPAE3,

The new one is a complete different file … whta´s the difference?
Oops, sorry, mixed up with PatchPAE3_2017_03_28.zip. Please delete.
Win10-Defender says that there is a virus inside.Trojan Win32/Fuery.B!cl and other software also give a virus-alert.
Are you talking about fix128 (aka patchpae3) or my mega link?
My is just fix128 encapsulated with autohotkey and a .cmd that executes it,
so unless fix128 contains something it will be the exact same thing …
On a side note fix128 is niw twice as big as previous versions,
but I think it just wasn’t packed with mpress or upx, however
when I encapsulated with purebasic it was also triggering a virus
warning so that’s why I switched to using autohotkey… strange!
I meant your “Updated, new link:”
Ok, I’ve checked it out myself as well, see below, nothing to worry about.
PatchPAE3 is command-line utility. It’s PatchPae2 mod.
fix128 is GUI for PatchPAE3. It’s compilation of VBScript, 7zip, UPX and some Micro$oft utilities.
PAE Patch 2.1 by Escape75 is very simple… (GUI without GUI?) wrapper for PatchPAE3 to easy use.
PatchPae2.zip is not virus. It’s AV false positives heuristics, because any PatchPae modifies some windows critical kernel files just like virus. For example, when you run “PatchPae2.exe -type loader …”, you disable DRM, and Micro$oft and AVs worship DRM
Extracted PatchPAE3.EXE ist accepted by Defender. But extracted PATCHPAE.EXE is removed by Defender – reason: Virus (see abvove). I can only report what I see on the screen.
Yeah I had another look and you’re right, these A/V engines are weird …
When I scan my PatchPAE.exe and PatchPAE.cmd separately they are clean (via virustotal.com)
When I scan PatchPAE 2.1 which encapsulates the 2 above using AutoHotkey I get detections (16!)
When I scan a test version of PatchPAE encapsulated with WinRAR SFX I get detections (8!)
The PatchPAE.exe in all of the above files is PatchPAE3.exe by evgeny.
So you get detections from all, but rest assured that PatchPAE 2.1 is clean.
AutoHotkey source code is also very simplistic:

The Trojan warning is a false positive, you should white list the Patch program.
What AV software is giving you the warning anyways? Windows Defender is fine for me.
Hello .. I’m using Windows Defender …. tried again .. same result — reports a virus
How do we do the following?
’m guessing you’re running EFI boot and my patch needs to be corrected to work with that …
FOR /F %%a in (‘bcdedit /enum {current} ^| find “%systemroot:~2%\system32\winload.exe”‘) do set winload=1
FOR /F %%a in (‘bcdedit /enum {current} ^| find “%systemroot:~2%\system32\winloadx.exe”‘) do set winload=1
if %winload% equ 0 (echo -ERROR- Cannot Detect Loader!) & (goto end)
The link does not work ( file not found)
The newest windows 10 creators edition doesn’t work with patchpae 3… Does anyone have a solution?
I just tried the link I posted above file on 15063.138 and it patched it without any issues …

How do we do this?
Try this new EFI test version:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=59518172338310431758
I tested and the new version supports EFI now, it might still trigger a false positive virus warning.
And if you will patch winload.efi, first you need to disable secure boot.
PAE Patch 2.3 now using WinRAR SFX so you can view what it contains
in case Windows identifies it as a virus, which would be a false positive:

Try opening cmd, and type:

This will show what files you have, is your boot drive c: ?
You should also attach the output of (from elevated cmd)
Bcdedit /enum

Hi,can you share this 4 files?

Ok I see a previous patch there, running as {current} …
Try rebooting your windows 10 and selecting “Windows 10” at the boot menu,
then after windows boots execute the patch again. Hopefully that will work.
New version 2.4, just small bug fixes in the script …

cheers man deleted all the old ones worked treat thanks again and fast respone ty
Great, no problem.
If you have more than 2 entries, default and PAE,
you should be able to delete extra ones using:
https://neosmart.net/wiki/easybcd/basics/deleting-entries/
I can’t decompress the file Pae-Mod.rar…
It works but it is black/white screen instead blue screen at Boot selection.
Thank you very much for the mod.
I have tried all patches you posted, non of them worked unfortunately. The last one says ‘cannot detect loader’.
I have Windows 10 32 bit
15063
Please post output of “bcdedit /enum” see above,
I’m guessing there’s a previous patch or weird bcd entries …
You could also try rebooting choosing another startup option.
This is the output https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8H9H-vE69_jMnBCczdIWTJYc28
Ha ha It worked now. Windows Defender was blocking the process. I had to dis-activate it and launch the patch.
Yeah makes sense, stupid defender false positives …
Hi go to msconfig see how many windows you have at startup, if u already have a patched one that is default then delete it so u only have windows 10 then run that as defult, re-apply patch worked for me i had same issue.
thanks to Escape75
I was so happy that I forgot to thank you.
Thanks a lot man, you helped me a lot
Patch PatchPAE3 with Windows 15063.138 works fine for me. But I’m wondering:
“bootmenupolicy” is set to “Legacy” (checked with bcdedit /enum). The help of PatchPAE3 says:
“This will set our boot menu to classic text mode before loading drivers.”
But with new WIN10, boot menu is not the classic black/white text menu. It’s a blue (graphics?) menu. (Not always but usually.)
Is this normal?
Best regards
akapuma
I found the difference:
During a “cold” start, the “classic text mode” (black/white) is used.
During a “hibernate” start, the blue mode is used.
Best regards
akapuma
@Escape75, JFYI : v2.4 of PatchPAE3 working OK with Windows 7 SP1 fully updated
Thanks.
PS : you could include a readme to tell users it is full auto. At first I tried to use it according to the instructions for the original PatchPAE2.
Patch pae 3 worked for my windows 10 version 1493.. but i am facing prblm while installing intel hd graphics its not installing nd screen goes while its installation ….processor is i3 2gen can anyone know how cn i install graphics driver
can you add version 15063.250 this goes to automatic repair
Gildo, the patch works OK for me with 15063.250.
I’d suggest the problem may elsewhere.
if i chose the pateched version goes to automatic reapair if i chose the normal the windows works fine do you know what could be the possible causes? i do have an Geforce 220 could that be the problem?
i maybe somethig wrong las tme but now i get KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED as error as soon as i enter in my windows and see my desktop
Just tried the newest version on my Win 10 Pro installation and it worked like a charm. Many thanks!!
Hi Guys !!
Please !!
writes please which hardware you are using in your comments !!
This is helpfully for everyone, to use this Patch want.
Thanks !!

It’s pretty simple, unless you want to use really old drivers,
the only requirement is an ATI Radeon card for this to work.
Other than that, it should work on anything.
The PAE patch worked for me Windows 10 Update version1607 (KB4015438)
Does this patch work if Windows is booted in UEFI mode?
Does this patch work when Windows is booted in UEFI mode?
Unsupported kernel version: 15063. Windows 10 creators update.
Have you tried updated version? http://www.mediafire.com/file/ffjim5111corkcf/PatchPAE3_2017_03_28.zip
It worked for me with Creators update (15063).
This version of PatchPAE3 works with my W7ultimate x86 SP1. All other tips before didn’t work after this weeks update of W7. Before I used rampatch for 4(?) years w/o any problem.
Thanks to evgen for his update and wrapper and wj32 for the basic works!
Fall Creators update is coming! Anyone is working on the patch?
My computer has crached when using this tools on windows 7 sp1 update pack 06/2017
It worked on Win 7 32 bit. Sp1 Home premium running on Virtual box.
My lesson was Make sure I follow the readme intructions exactly! I suggest extract the patch zip to root of drive ie C:\ seemed to work better than extracting into system 32 folder.
You will note in the read me that the path given to the loader is \windows not c:\windows as I mistakenly used. I’m not sure why that is but just use what the read me has.
If anyone little thing is wrong the loader wont work and as soon as you hit enter on the os selection screen it will go into windows recovery – dont give up! If you wait for the windows recovery to restart – and then select the same boot option again let windows recovery keep running untill it gives an error message – that will help alot – my error was cant find boot loader which helped me notice I had not followed the readme with the path. Note if you get a blue screen error thats different a driver possibly needs rolling back or an older driver installed (from what ive real mainly intel on board graphics)
Yay Now in computer properties it shows 6gb ram.
Hello ANdrew
Mine asks: which hardware has your system?

Am I crazy or did the latest update really make a mess?
maybe its the KB4025339 update thing I’m experiencing?
PaePatch 3 patched system fails to boot with a “pdc.sys” 0xc0000098 error after MS update KB4025339 installs. I have to remove KB4025339 and then system will start giving me full memory again. But then windows update starts downloading KB4025339 again. Ideas?
Figured out how to fix/workaround:
1) boot into original win kernel (original non-paepatch you should still have in boot menu) – let windows update finish installing
2) might reboot again, boot back into original non-paepatch windows
3) go into “control panel” -> “updates & security” — click “update history” — click “uninstall updates”
4) find “Security Update … (KB4025339)” – select it and “uninstall” it
5) let system reboot once
6) when back up after update has been uninstalled
7) open cmd prompt – goto “windows\system32\drivers” directory
8) copy pdc.sys pdc.sys.org
9) go back to “control panel” -> “updates & security” – watch and wait for windows to install the KB4025339 update again – let system reboot. startup will fail again so go back into the non-paepatch windows to complete KB4025339 install
10) go into “control panel” -> “updates & security” — click “Recovery” – scroll down to “Advanced” and click “restart now”
11) when it comes up in maintenace mode version – select “Troubleshooting” — then select “Advanced Options” — then select “commmand prompt”
12) when it comes up do:
d:
cd \windows\system32\drivers
ren pdc.sys pdc.sys.bad
ren pdc.sys.org pdc.sys
exit
13) now you should be able to select you default paepatched windows
## NOTE: ## — I found with this workaround — that now at this point with the old “pdc.sys” file back – that booting into the non-paepatched windows throws a bluescreen. So use at your known risk. since you keeping the new “pdc.sys” file you can always revert back.
ATTENTION: scratch all I said above !
Except you can still uninstall update KB4025339 if you wish but it will come back.
Ended up needing to redo the bcd edits – not just patch kernel and loader, the bcd got changed somehow.
Yeah they bombed me with multiple updates I should have paid attention to what they were doing.
Sure enough I look and the PAE OS has crashed.
Okay I went with your original idea of uninstalling updates.
Sooner or later I am sure Microsoft will try to force on to me but maybe some one will come up with another patch.
I also caught Norton security killing the patch so I was able to get around that.
For now I got my computer back.
Ryzen build I will have to give in and go 64 bit.
Hello,
the following worked for me:
– Set default boot mode to non-paepatch.
– Let Windows make all updates to 15063.483. If windows makes a reboot, paepatch is not active.
– If windows updates are completely finished, re-apply PAE-patch !!!
– Then, you can set default mode to paepatch and use it.
Enjoy!
Best regards
akapuma
ah, interesting, my windows is kernel version 14393. I thought i re-patched the 2 files.. rechecked — the KB4025339 update provides new ntoskrnl.exe but no change to winload.exe. Didnt redo any bcdedit stuff.
yeah, now its working — read, rechecked the steps, and redid the bcdedits – that appeared to have changed.
that was it — so no “pdc” workaround needed.
Problem is whatever they did on that update mentioned the kernel does not patch.
KB4025339
My workaround (see above) works. All exe-files (ntknew, ntoskrnl, winldnew and winload) are 15063.483.
I only patched both files. No bcdedit.
Best regards
akapuma
Without the workaround, i got the following:
– Windows update makes an update.
– PC restarts
– At boot time, there were messages like “PC is checked” or “PC is repaired”
– PC restarts
– After reboot, I got the message “Updates can’t be applied”
– Procedure begins again.

For those uninitiated who are experiencing crashes after the latest windows update try this method:
Run CMD as admin and type in ‘bcdedit /set removememory’, and then run your patch file.
It worked for me.
correction
“bcdedit /set removememory 0” is the full sentence
sorry for the cause
correction.
‘bcdedit /set removememory’ is the full sentence
Sorry for the late response
Hate to ask but what does the command do??
Sooner or later Mr. softy is going to push that update down on me.
I don’t even get an update loop.
The PAE OS crashes and none of the other entries can I patch.
Strange I let another update run and now it patches great.
So….
any solution for win10 (os:14393.1480) to use 8GB memory?

Seems to be the best answer.
Even if it does not move you up to latest version the last update I had was easy to patch.
Is there a patch update for 15063.540?

Why? Patch works fine with 15063.540.

Make sure you have enabled MMIO in BIOS
I’ve searched and I can’t find anything about MMIO for my x60. How do i check this setting?
Make sure you have applied bcdedit.exe after PatchPAE3.
What does this mean? I have to rerun all the bcdedit commands again? Does it matter what boot load I’m in? Thanks
Anyone working on the PAE patch for Windows 10 version 1709?
will it work on Windows 10 Insider Preview 16299? May be anybody have already tried?
Fails on 1709 16299.19 with nVidia driver. PAE boot entry just keeps in restarting loop cycle or ends up with the green screen of death informing bout failure of some nvxyz.sys thingy. Also it screwed up the WinBtrfs module somehow; clicking on a drive in File Explorer results in An internal error occurred message.
Please update this patch for 1709
Now the latest version of Windows 10 is 16299. Anyone is working on patching the new kernel and loader?
I`ll try to day later on my notebook with ati and post the results
Cheked – runing good!
Hello guys!
Do you know which Windows 10 32bit version will surely work with this patch?
My specs are:
Cpu Q6600
Ram 8Gb Corsair
Motherboard Asus P5K-E
VGA nVidia Gt-440 (but i can change it
with an ATI card)
I don’t care if is an older Win 10 version, i need the 32 bit for my old printers ’cause they don’t have 64 bit drivers
Thank you in advance if someone will help
Frank
It is (only) a matter of the video-drivers. You have to obtain and use old (maybe Win7-)driver. Please see my comments above.
Even with the nvidia gt-440 card?
I don´t know. The latest/youngest driver which worked with the patch and my (old) Nvidia-cards (see above my old comments) was NVIDIA-Win7-driver 9.18.13.3221 (332.21) of 12-19-2013. Due to my experiences that no younger/later driver worked with the patch I assume that you must use/test this driver. Maybe it works with your card.
Thank you so much Michael. I really appreciate your help.
So, last question just ’cause i’m a lame, no problem if i use Win 10 1703 or even 1709?
I do not use Win10 regularily. But due to my experiences with Win7 and Win10 in the past it is not a matter of the win10-version but a matter of the nvidia-driver-version. The same problem occurs with Win7. I also do not exspect that a newer Win10-version would not accept the old Win7-driver. But at last with all this patches and improvisations and workarounds: There is no guarantee, make a try.
For NVIDIA users try to install old drivers. Mine was in 2013
Yes. See my comments of Feb.2017: NVIDIA-Win7-driver 9.18.13.3221 of 12-19-2013. Working “perfectly”.
Didn’t work for me with Windows 10 1703 or 1709.
Uh why does it state that it “failed” when i did the command to patch the loader to disable signature verification? I need help thanks in advance
Upgrade to 1703 is done. This sh* MS-software again (unwanted and w/o giving notice) updated the NVidia-videocard-driver to the newest version. The result was that after patching the kernel the system does not boot. I went back to the previous driver
NVIDIA-Win7-driver 9.18.13.3221 of 12-19-2013 (see my post of February 18, 2017)
and now, as exspected, also the patched system is booting. 8GB from 8GB are in usage.
Testet on an EVGA force 780i SLI FTW motherboard (132-YW-E178) with E8400-CPUs.

The differences between original and patched ntoskrnl.exe:
original patched
002E8 FD D0 59 65 54 5A
516179 8B 75 DC 85 F6 74 3F BE 00 00 02 00 90 90
5161A9 8B 4D FC 85 C9 74 06 B9 00 00 02 00 90 90
The replacements with “BE 00 00 02 00 90 90″/”B9 00 00 02 00 90 90” are well-know form the manually-done Win7-patch.
But what is the reason for replacing “FD D0 59” with “65 54 5A” ?
The differences between original and patched winload.exe:

00148 FE A3 4C AC

You may remember that when patching the Win7-kernel manually you must give the patched file ntkrlICE.exe a valid signature by using makecert.exe and signtool.exe and the commands:
makecert -r -ss my -n “CN=Microsoft Windows”
signtool sign -a -s my -n “Microsoft Windows” ntkrlICE.exe
I have done and testet this procedure with a manually patched ntoskrnl.exe and also with the patchpae3-patched ntoskrnl.exe. Although there was no error-message and so the signature should be o.k. the system does not boot but starts the repair-procedure (of course w/o success).
Any idea why this does not work with Win 10?
Also upgrade to 1709 (Build 16299) is done. Again the updater updated (unwanted and w/o giving notice) the NVidia-videocard-driver to the newest version. The result was again that after patching the kernel the system does not boot. Again I went back to the previous driver
NVIDIA-Win7-driver 9.18.13.3221 of 12-19-2013 (see my post of February 18, 2017)
and now, as exspected, also the patched 1709-system is booting. 8GB from 8GB are in usage.
Testet on an EVGA force 780i SLI FTW motherboard (132-YW-E178) with E8400-CPUs and NVidia GeForce 8800GT.

The replacements with “BE 00 00 02 00 90 90″/”B9 00 00 02 00 90 90” are well-know form the manually-done Win7-patch.
But what is the reason for replacing “87 FD 61” with “F4 80 62” ?
The differences between original and patched winload.exe:

Hi Alex,
hi from Germany, too.

I just re-applied the patch. Neuw Windows kernel is 16299.192. Works fine with this version, too.
yes! It worked… thx for help. Maybe it was the last Update on systembuild 16299.192
24-Jan-2018 On a 32-Bit OS Windows 10 Home Version 1709 Build 16299.192 with Integrated on CPU Graphic Card Intel HD-530, the PatchPAE3_2017_03_28.zip posted above works and Memory from 2GB went to 16GB, even if the Executable did NOT mention that supports Build 16299.
How can I determine if this is truly working on my system? I’m positive I followed all steps correctly, and dialogues seem to confirm. Upon reboot however, according to sys-info/sys properties it is not able to allocate more than 2.99 MB. Should I try the ntknew.exe command? I’m on the latest Win10 build (16299.192) and have a Lenovo x60 laptop. Perhaps there is a hardware conflict? Thanks, Randy
I’m not quite clear about the amount of physical RAM your system is equipped with
I have 4gb
To determine this is working you can check systeminfo or use systeminfo.exe as a cmd prompt.
I’m not sure if you read my post very carefully, I checked the sysinfo.
So then what you’re telling me is that although it should be working (I installed PAE3_2017_03_28), it appears that it is not. Without the benefit of any troubleshooting guidelines, I guess I must conclude that my x60 is not compatible due to a hardware conflict…
The Lenovo X60 only has a 32 bit CPU not a 64 bit CPU so it cannot handle more than 3 GB of memory
PAE3_2017_03_28 posted above works with Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192]
Windows 7 6.1.7601.23992 KB4056897 likely broke windload.exe patch.
PatchPae3 worked fine nearly one year for me until February-Update KB4074588. Update failed several Times (0x800f0845).
So I selected the nonpatched-Entry as default from the Boot-Menu. Then after boot, KB4074588 was installed with now Problems.
I delete the old ntoskrnx.exe and winloadp.exe and created them new with
– PatchPae3.exe -type kernel -o ntoskrnx.exe ntoskrnl.exe
– PatchPae3.exe -type loader -o winloadp.exe winload.exe
In Boot-Menu I selected the patched-Entry as default again and booted: Everything works fine again.
Anyone working on the patch of upcoming Windows 10 RS4?
It works! PatchPae3 succesfully tested on build 17127.
Don’t be confused when patching loader it responds “failed”. Despite of this message, loader is patched correct way.

OK, I hope it will be useful, but without any warranty. Just unzip and copy into the same directory with patchpae.
Hi,
how do i solve this error
cannot set legacy boot menu!
Ignore it. Legacy boot menu option display boot menu before drivers will load in Windows 8/8.1/10 (Drivers maybe PAE-incompatible). Windows 7 has not such option, it has legacy boot menu only.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/r8lvgrcbdnrkorp/ScriptPAE3v26.zip
added simple test for UEFI SecureBoot, etc…
The scriptPAE3v26 process is completed without errors but does not activate the 4gb of memory on the windows 7 desktop
I just installed windows 7 with latest updates (kernel 6.1.7601.24094) on my VM, ran the script and after reboot with “Windows 7 with PAE” boot menu item got all of VM RAM.
Maybe your hardware can’t support PAE.
The kernel is 6.1.7601.24000.
Should I disable security boot?
not downloading
Hi,
I’m already using PatchPAE3_2018_04_07.zip
not recognizing the 4gb
Does this patch work on the upcoming Windows 10 17134?
Yes it does. I just updated.
Eugeny, attempting to patch W10 10.0.17692.1004, patching kernel does not work. Resulted file does not enable 4GB+. Previous versions could be patched well. Could you please look into new kernel file or publish your source code? Many THX.
Original ntoskrnl.exe: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pumLNSYWzwMJBjSKDdRUhwi0h1hyFdMX
A few problems so far:
1) When I boot into Windows 10×86 and run the above Script Windows screams not on my watch and dumps me out without option. Full admin cmd and such.
2) OK, I figure replacing the kernal while booted in the OS might be a problem, I’ll just use my dual boot option and run it from there.
3) My dual boot is Windows 7×64 16GB dual physical single core CPUs. Running the script throws a x64 bit OS detected error and dumps me out. My XEON CPUs lack the commands necessary to run 8.1+ (believe me, I’ve tried).
4) OK, let me try compatibility mode. No luck.
5) My Windows 10×86 install is on F:\ in case that matters. I’ve got the patch files living in “f:\setup\PAE Patch”. Would the space matter?
6) The biggest problem I’m having is the readme files seem to have disappeared somewhere along the way making it hard to do the manual install. I’ll try an old one from PatchPae2 but this doesn’t feel right.
7) Any chance we can get the very top of this page updated to direct people down here? It took me rather too much time to find the current files.
>readme files seem to have disappeared
readme is part of PatchPAE3:
cmd.exe – > PatchPAE3.exe
output:
…
* print user guide for patch “4 Gb 32-bit memory limit”:
PatchPAE3.EXE -help unlock_pae
>When I boot into Windows 10×86 and run the above Script
you can edit script. you can comment first line (@ECHO OFF -> rem @ECHO OFF), then run cmd.exe and then run script to see commands output to determine problem line. or run script with argument ScriptPAE3.cmd NOUAC
the script is just good example. maybe it’s antivirus problem? and UEFI option “secure boot” can’t load patched (pirate) kernel/loader. maybe problem is in the script’s code page. and maybe you use non-standard windows loader.
>5 space matter?
No.
>5 install is on F:\
I think – no.
Cool. Having seen the readme unzipped from the top of the thread it never occurred to me to treat the patchpae3.exe as any other command line using standard dos help.
Aside from the exe downgrading my Xeons to i386s (inside joke for those who actually owned a 386 once upon a time) and some fat fingers it actually worked. It’s not super intuitive but as mentioned somewhere else, if you can’t translate these instructions yourself you shouldn’t be doing it.
Playing with the boot record gave me a third boot option with the patch while leaving my original install safely there in case it’s needed. Wasn’t expecting that piece of good fortune.
Viola. 16GB of ram shown, only 1.2GB used. Without memory hogs like Waterfox it may take me awhile to get programs to actually use that space, but I look forward to it with great anticipation.
I’ve accomplished what I came for and learned quite a bit (of trivia?) over the last few days. Thank you for your help.
1 Thing I don’t get.. you have a dual xeon machine with 16GB ram.. why would you WANT to run 32bit ? I’m not making fun.. just wondering.. might be some disturbing really old legacy software which was never upgraded etc.. I’ve seen some shit throughout the years believe me.. I’m even before the hayday of the 386dx.. waaay before
So basically I’m just really curious
non-judgemental style ! 
Let’s talk W8CPUFeaturePatch. Is that really sane to do on my primary personal system? Are these newly required (dumb) commands really so obscure as to practically never execute? Will my system be stable if I do this? All I’ve ever wanted is a stable Windows 10×64 as God intended. Only now after I’ve got 16GB shown on Windows 10×86 does my forbidden fruit lie so tantalizing close.
Alas, my inadequacies lie in the form of PrefechW and LAHF/SAHF. Not mentioned in the patch instructions. Do I continue to come up short or have you magicians solved this problem too?
Confirming programs punch right through 4GB without complaint.
Weirdness, my hyperthreading turned off. It claims to be enabled on in the BIOS. Does some part of what we did turn it off? Firefox is hitting the CPU harder than anticipated. If I can’t get Hyperthreading back am I loosing cycles? Should I disable it in BIOS?
Next question, Microsoft never recognized my failed attempts years ago to upgrade this hardware to Windows 10 and never supplied a digital key for it to install. Not really fair, but I don’t have too much standing in court. There used to be many ways to complete a free and legal Windows 10 upgrade. Do any of these remain? I’m willing to install / uninstall / create partition / patch / etc. yet again if need be.
Seem the patch dont work correctly with the new win10 ver 17134. It says something like side-by-side configuration is incorrect when open programs. Any1 get the same problem?
PatchPAE3_2018_04_07.zip works fine with the new win10 ver 17134.
No problems here.
Just a quick update to my Patch PAE based on PatchPAE3_2018_04_07 …

The executable was compressed with mpress, then converted to a hex text file,
which gets re-assembled at runtime to prevent possible false positive virus detections.
The self executable rar file is packed with upx to reduce size,- contents can be inspected.
Thanks, it worked. But there are some strange things here:
After using your version, 2 new boot entries added to system:
Windows 10 (PAE)
Windows (PAE Patched) <- Default OS
The default entry "Windows (PAE Patched)" can't boot successful. The other one "Windows 10 (PAE)" worked.
Hey, thanks! really thanks. I was wait this
Strange, my script will add “Windows 10 (PAE)” so the “PAE Patched” would be from another script.
You could use msconfig now and go under Boot and remove the other non-working boot entry.

My guess is that perhaps the software was designed for Windows XP and not compatible with Windows 7? There are a lot of internal difference between XP and Vista/7/8/10, notably user account control etc.
Hello, I use Windows 7 32 bit with 8G RAM, this patch works fine except for USB such as printing to a printer connected to a USB port. I replaced USB related DLL files in \windows\system32\ folder with USB DLL files from Windows Server 2008 32bit Standard Edition’s evaluation ISO available in Microsoft web site, but the problem remains. This USB problem in PAEpatched Windows XP is solved by bringing USB DLL files from Windows Server 2003 32bit, but apparently not in Windows 7. My question is, 1)has anyone got USB to work reliably in PAEpatched Windows 7 32bit? 2)Does PAEpatched Windows 10 32bit have the same USB problem? Thanks in advance.
not all usb affected… usb port with certain chip is affected…i have 8 port, 2 port is not working, the rest is working fine.
Thanks, I have found out that to root of the USB problem I described was partly with HP driver software. HP printers such as the Officejet 6000 works in PAE Patched Windows 7 by using print driver labeled “corprate”.
Non-corporate driver does not work in PAEPatched Windows 7 but it does in manually patched Windows XP. Similarly, HP printers for non-corporate consumers such as Deskjets do not have “corporate” driver, and do not work in PAE Patched Windows 7, but they do in patched Windows XP.

Is there a ScriptPAE3v26.cmd file to install?
For now, latest patch is: PatchPAE3_2018_07_20.zip (it works fine with Windows 1809)
Your reply mislead!
Hey folks. Installed WIn 1809 / 17763.107 today. Got the message: Cannot patch the loader file … Exitcode=-1073141823. Any ideas? NVIDIA driver is 331.58, last 2 years the patch worked without problems.
I was blind for a moment, Kabawe’s post from Nov. 7 gave me the solution. Using the right paepatch3.exe did it.
For now, the right paepatch version is PatchPAE3_2018_07_20.zip from July 21, 2018!
It works fine with Windows 1809
Kabawe’s post from Nov. 7 mislead!
Thank you .. we can confirm that PatchPAE3_2018_07_20 works perfectly on multiple Dell computers …
Hello again
In windows 10 ver: 17763.107
when pasted this:
bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Windows (PAE Patched)”
Then it shows me:
=
The copy command specified is not valid.
Run “bcdedit /?” for command line assistance.
The parameter is incorrect.
=
What do you say?
OkI fix it by change to:
bcdedit /copy ‘{current}’ /d “Windows (PAEPatched)”
then its works.
But new errore when past:
=
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> bcdedit /set {2a6bf685-f98a-11e8-8e9c-f0f5141b9457} kernel ntoskrnx.exe
The set command specified is not valid.
Run “bcdedit /?” for command line assistance.
The parameter is incorrect.
=
What to do?
Thanx
I’m not sure is this is the reason, but I’m using command shell instead of power shell.
Me too!
Any idea?
If any one have the compatible issue with AMD CPU? Im using Ryzen 1600X and the last working version of windows is 1607. I tried many time on the newer version of windows but always get Out of memory error or Not enough memory to do something error when the RAM consum more than 4GB. Pls take a look on it
I patched my HP ZBook 17 G3 (with Windows 10.0 build 14393 32-bit OS installed) with version PatchPAE3_2018_07_20 and it works flawlessly. Now I’m able to realize 15.8GB of usable memory from a 16GB stick. The computer runs noticeably faster. My accolades to evgen_b and Escape75!
Is there a way to boot through without the “Windows 10 (C:\Windows) \ Windows 10 with PAE (C:\Windows) Default” OS selector?
Yes, you can. Type in windows search “system configuration” (german: Systemkonfiguraton), and then click on “boot” (german: “start”). Then you can remove the non-patched option.
BUT THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!!
In very rare cases, windows will not start with the patched files after a monthly update. There is no really option to fix it. Therefore, you need the standard-windows-option to start the system!
You can make the “patched” version as default and you can set the time to select to a small value, minimum is 3 seconds. Menu see first sentence of this post.
Best regards

As a long term user, PatchPae is wonderful with windows 10
…but the MS upgrades have caused havoc and created boot issues after upgrades
This occurs because PAE sets the default BOOT OS to PAE … and MS upgrades could cause the system to crash as you may have already experienced.
To resolve the MS upgrade issue, we use System Configuration to reset boot up as follows:
!) WIndows 10 (c:\windows) DefaultOS
2) Windows 10 with PAE c:\windows) OPTIONAL
To use PAE, you must select option 2 during boot
This approach means you will still have access your computer …..
If MS updates crash the system:
1 reboot normally … the default.OS will load
2 use System Configuration to delete the PAE Boot option
3 then reinstall PAE
4 Use system Configuration to reset boot to: Windows 10 (c:\windows) DefaultOS
5 restart
You will once again have two choices on boot:
) WIndows 10 (c:\windows) DefaultOS
2) Windows 10 with PAE c:\windows) OPTION
Just a thought, this rapport has worked well for us….
akapuma:
I’m not concerned about updates to the OS… I can restore the C:\ drive (with image validation) in < 90 seconds. I did as you suggested, deleting the 'Windows 10 (C:\Windows)' boot entry and of course the 'Windows 10 with PAE (C:\Windows Default' remains, but it still has a 3 second timeout. I would like to eliminate the timeout, similar to what the 'Windows 10 (C:\Windows)' did before the patch.

Hi bro, what is new in this version? I got the memory managerment with AMD Ryzen 1600X on any version of Windows above 1607. The patch is working ok, show 16GB of RAM, but when the RAM is used above 4GB, if i open program, or copy paste, windows says there is not enough memory to do the action…
Hallo,
until now after Windows-Updates I selected the nonpatched-Entry from the Boot-Menu,
delete the old ntoskrnx.exe and winloadp.exe and created them new by
– PatchPae3.exe -type kernel -o ntoskrnx.exe ntoskrnl.exe
– PatchPae3.exe -type loader -o winloadp.exe winload.exe
But since January-Update after selcting the nonpatched-Entry from the Boot-Menu,
booting is interrupting and stating new.
While selcting the patched-Entry, everything is working still fine.
So what can I do fix this?
I remembered the build for ntoskrnl.exe is: 6.2.17763.253
but the build for winload.exe is still: 6.2.17763.194
Here are my bcd-Entries:

I doubt we will need a new “PatchPae3.exe” with updated kernel….
Hallo, meanwhile I’m a piece further.
When I select the nonpatched-Entry from the Boot-Menu, booting is interrupting and starting new. But then there is prompting now Boot-Menu and booting is ending in perfect nonpatched Modus.
When stating new in this situation, the Procedure start’s again: Selecting nonpatched-Entry, booting new without Boot-Menu and booting in nonpatched Modus.
But when selecting the default patched-Entry, booting always works fine and is not interrupted by a second boot.
So what can I do?
Please make a new patch

FINALLY!!! Works in win 10 32 bits 1909 version /// 18363.418 compilation . Could you tell me where you got it from so I can check for future tool updates?
Unsupported kernel version: 17134
@Michael:
I didn’t use ScriptPAE3v26.cmd to update to 1903,
just used PatchPAE3.exe (filesize 115.712).
Booting into non-patched Entry from Boot-Menu
and then following commands:
“Del C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnx.exe”
“C:\PatchPae3\PatchPae3.exe -type kernel -o ntoskrnx.exe ntoskrnl.exe”
“Del C:\Windows\System32\winloadp.exe”
“C:\PatchPae3\PatchPae3.exe -type loader -o winloadp.exe winload.exe”
Just made it after MS-July-Updates, Build 10.0.18362.239 with no Problems.
Most people won’t find winloadp.exe. Instead they should look for winloadx.exe as the patched version..
Just to clarify and sort out some misunderstanding.
Best way updating could be deleting the PAE-Boot entry (using msconfig), install the 1903 update, delete (elevated rights) the patched ntoskernl and patched winload, reboot and just call the script ScriptPAE3v26.cmd with elevated rights. That should do, at least it did with mine.
Sitll bluescreen with NVIDIA chips, mine is GTX1070

Hey folks, I use a Samsung Notebook R530 with Windows 10 10.0.18362 and NVIDIA GeForce 310M, my actual driver is 331.58 and the PAE Patch works fine. Does anyone have experience with a more recent driver?
NVIDIA 332.21 is the lastest working on 8.1 b9600 that I could find, tried a few versions above and below this.
The patch is working perfect on my ancient laptop with core i5 3210M, win 10 1903, but doesnt work properly with 2 new PC with i7 7700HQ and Ryzen 1600X from win 10 1709 and above, it only working good with win 10 1607 and below. What is the problem here?

Installation via script. I can use all my 8GB. Why? Microsoft! Why?
Works on Win10 1909 18363.592 (january 2020 patch) and Nvidia GT520 with 391.35 driver
@Jan Itor:
What is with ntoskrnl and winload, also 18363.592?
Here both are still 18363.535 from December.
@ Ecki
I don´t know how to know ntoskrnl and/or winload version, but my windows 10 pro system (x86) was updated from 18363.535 to 18363.592 via windows update.
Now running fine with 6gb ddr3 1333mhz after aplying PatchPAE3_2018_11_19
@Jan Itor
right-click on both files and look under Properties > Details
Both files (ntoskrnl & winload) says 18362.535 altough winver says 18363.592
Today, i upgraded the RAM memory to 8gb (2x 4gb 1333mhz modules) and still working flawlessly.
I wanna thank to the people who make this possible
Still works after Patchday Feb. 2020 (KB4532695) on Dell 9200 with Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6700 @ 2.66GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 2GB with Driver 391.35, Win 10 Pro, Build 18363.628.
Update:
I updated windows to february patch (18363.657) and then, upgraded my system with a GAH81-H mobo and a Core I5 4430. no video card, only the integrated video (Intel HD Graphics 4600) with Intel 20.19.15.4531 driver.
Still working fine with 8gb of RAM and not a single issue!!!
I’d be grateful for any help.
No success with Lenovo Thinkpad T60:
Processor – Core Duo T2500 – Per coreinfo, has NX, PAE >32-bit physical address, no 64-bit support
Memory – 4GB installed / 3GB usable – Lenovo says T60 supports 4GB but that 945PM chipset does not
Graphics – ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
Windows 10 Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.657)
Installed PatchPAE3_2018_11_19 without complaint using ScriptPAE3v26.
Boots uneventfully into “Windows 10” and “Windows 10 with PAE” (the only two choices) and runs fine.
No difference in memory availability with and without PAE.

Anyone had any luck (besides bad) with a T60?
what do You want ?
Your machine has only 4GB RAM.
What should the patch do ?
Give You 8GB Ram ?
noway
This patch is to use all installed RAM i.e. 16GB regulary on 32-bit windows.
(“What do you want?” That’s probably immaterial.)
As you noticed and pointed out, my “machine has 4GB RAM.” What I hoped / expected was what you concluded with – “to use all installed RAM”.
I hoped / expected to have use of 4GB of RAM instead of the “3GB usable” that Windows reports.
Thanks for your comment.
Windows itself including drivers and display controller need about 1Gig Ram,
You can’t use for other applications
So you reckon that the difference between installed and usable memory is what Windows itself needs, including drivers and display controller?
I have several 32-bit Windows machines in my stable.
One reports “Installed memory (RAM): 4GB (3GB usable)” which is a 1GB difference.
One reports “Installed memory (RAM): 4GB (2.93GB usable)” which is a 1.07GB difference.
One reports “Installed memory (RAM): 2GB (1.89GB usable)” which is a 0.11GB difference.
Two others make no mention of “usable” .
I also have several 64-bit Windows machines:
One reports “Installed memory (RAM): 8GB (7.82GB usable)” which is a 0.18GB difference.
Two report “Installed memory (RAM): 4GB (3.80GB usable)” which is a 0.20GB difference.
One reports “Installed memory (RAM): 4GB (3.87GB usable)” which is a 0.13GB difference.
Does your theory contend that some installations of 32-bit Windows occupy 1.07GB while other installations make do with as little as 0.11GB?
Interesting.

Your hardware 945PM can use only 4 GB memory:
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/27858/intel-82945pm-memory-controller.html
945PM doesn’t support memory remapping or 36-bit PAE. You need 965 chipset or newer, see Intel(r) Ark.
Thanks for your reply, evgeny, in which you say “Your hardware 945PM can use only 4 GB memory” and direct me to Intel’s Ark site, which confirms your observation that the 945PM supports 4GB, something I was unsure of.
Perhaps I failed to make it clear in my original post and subsequent replies, I’m not attempting to use MORE THAN 4GB (four) but rather I’m trying to use EXACTLY 4GB, i.e., more than 3GB (three). My machine continues to report “Installed memory (RAM): 4GB (3GB usable)” booting either “Windows 10” or “Windows 10 with PAE”.
I remain mystified why the limit of 3GB, which many insist is a Microsoft marketing restriction, is not relaxed by the PAE Patch, thereby affording full use of installed memory more than 3GB albeit less than 4GB.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier#Address_remapping
Once again, JRElliott. Adapters like VGA, LAN, USB, ATA, etc used adress space between 3 and 4 Gb of phisical adress. To use RAM between 3-4 GB, chipset needs to remap 3-4 GB RAM adress space to 4-5 Gb adress space, for example. I.e. chipset needs to support more then 4 Gb of adresss memory. 945PM can’t remap 3-4 Gb to 4-5 Gb for use it by CPU because 945PM supports only 32-bit 4 Gb adress space. Newer chipset like 965 support “memory remap future” and CPU uses all of memory as VGA/LAN/USB memory between 3-4 Gb and RAM memory between 0-3 Gb plus remapped 1 Gb in upper 4+ Gb adress space.
Thanks, evgeny. Between the “3GB Barrier” Wiki and your synopsis of it, I think I finally understand. Regards.

Still works with 18363.752 (also new Winload)
Patch does not work for HP Compaq 8200, kernel 18363.752, using build from 2019/11/28. It freezes with blank screen just before splashing user login screen. Any suggestions?
The problem was integrated Intel graphics card. I installed MXM card (AMD Radeon HD 5450) and the patch now works; kernel 18363.900.
For me I had a temporary Problem with User-Profiles after Windows 10 Update KB4532693 two Months ago, which later disapeared. May be, it’s the same Problem.
https://borncity.com/win/2020/02/13/windows-10-update-kb4532693-kills-user-data-profile/
Hi! i ‘ve followed all the steps but Windows doesn’t finish to boot, and i get the blue screen with this error: “video TDR Failure nvlddmkm.sys” . PatchPAE3 version is still incompatbile with nvidia video card? i have a laptop IdeaPad Lenovo B550.
Please, help!
i wrote all you’ve said here..and i installed the driver fro Win 7 into Win 10, i received 2 script eroors, but i skipped them and the drivers were fine installed. Now I have 8 Gb installed and no other text added such as 2.96 usable, but i don’t see any performance change to the system at all…

Hello, any help would be grateful. I read almost all of the exchanges, and it is not clear for me if the patch can work with integrated Intel graphic card or not.
I have an HP PC with Windows 10 32-bit (15063 build), 16 Go RAM and integrated Intel HD graphic card.
I installed the latest version of the patch, PatchPAE3_2018_11_19, zero problem to install it. But after restart the PC in PAE mode, the PC starts and suddenly the screen displays no VGA source input and the screen is black. If I wait a bit, the PC tries to repair and repair again…
In not PAE mode the PC starts normally. I really would like to run this PAE mode, are there any manipulations that could work?
I tried some of them suggested on the posts below, but for the moment not worked. I also tried to downgrade or update the driver for graphic card but it is up to date and to downgrade it, the result was worse.
If you have any suggestion…Thanks in advance
Enn,
In my experience I could never get it working with integrated Intel graphics card on my machine. PAE patch only started working once I added external graphics card.
Hello Ped, thanks for your feedback. I feared that, me too. Pity. I’ll see if I can get my hands on another graphics card and give it a try.
It´s a matter of the video-driver. I don´t know the reason, but IMHO newer driver are not compatible with the PAE-patch (or vice versa ;-)). See my previous posts to this matter reg.different PC/videocards. My advice: Test the oldest driver you can find and which are working for your purpose. Also test old WinXP-, Vista- and Win7-driver.
Hello Michael, thanks for your feedback.
I already tried to install older driver, but the result was worse. In my case and with the project that requires more memory, I think I will try 2 other options: use an additional external graphic card and second: try to interface my 32-bit OPC client in virtual machine with an OPC server on a 64-bit Windows and not 32-bit Windows. I have tried everything that has been suggested on this forum with the integrated graphics card, with no success.
Maybe the driver you found are not old enough. I have (had) this trouble with 3 different but “old” PC, 2 with integrated video and optional additional videocards, and in every case the patch worked only with old driver. My strategy was/is using the old driver which are part of the first Win7-CD (or the first Win10-issue) or, if not existing, the oldest driver available fro the manufacturer and if to young (not working) looking for older driver in the Web using the hardware-informations from the device-manager (or the .inf-file of the found drivers). Maybe this will not work with to new PC/new hardware, so that there do not exist drivers which are old enough. It is the same when using old hardware in Win7 oder Win10 which are not supportedfrom Win7/10 – a little bit like a criminalistic investigation.
When the motherboard´s videohardware is to young a solution – if Win10-32 is mandatory – could be using an old (and so very cheap) external videocard with sufficient old drivers fo substituting the internal and to new videohardware on the motherboard.
The disadvantage of all this workarounds is the limitation to the old videodrivers with maybe less functionality and performance. I really would like to know the technical reason/cause for this conflict of the pae-patch with videohardware/-driver.
I also would like to know. In case of integrated graphics card, I can see a reason. These devices use the higher part of the existing memory, that is why when we have 4 Go of memory, only around 3.3 Go are available for other applcations. I suppose for the integrated devices the memory address to use cannot be “moved” in another place as done with PAE. But I’m not expert in this question, I cannot answer for sure…
Yes, the memory of/for the integrated video-hardware reduces the amount of available RAM (in the top end). But this can not be the sole reason for the problem.
Because the pae-paetch works actually with old driver and aktive integrated videohardware. In the (not very new ;-)) PC (which can use more than 4 GB RAM, of course, the other old PC limited to 4GB RAM do not matter), which I have tested and use, the active integrated videohardware takes the needed memory from the top of the complete (!) RAM.
For example: When 6GB are inserted “System” reports that after doing the pae-patch the complete RAM is now 6GB and some hundert MB (depending on the videohardware) are used otherwise so that e.g. 5.6 GB RAM are available.
I do not not know how I can proof this report exactly. But I know that when using Win10-32 w/o pae-patch (ans so 4GB minus RAM for videohardware) I can run only one Virtual-Box-VM with less than 2GB RAM (when I remember correct around 1,7GB), but with pae-patch (and complete 6GB RAM) the max. RAM of a VM can be up to nearly 3GB and I can run two VM with each 2GB RAM. So the report from “System” that 5.6GB RAM are available seems to be true.
If the reason for this problem would be the active use of the integrated videohardware than the pae-patch would never work, even not with old video-driver.
But the problem also occurs with (some) external videografic-cards and (some) newer driver. Of course I can confirm the problem and the working with old drivers only as I have reported in the past, not in general.
OK, thanks for the explanation. Precisely, I needed these details, my problem is to run an XP virtual machine in Virtualbox with a sufficient amount of memory. And after your feedback, it seems indeed that could work with integrated graphics card and the problem is not in relation with integrated/not integrated. I will try to find and older driver, but not sure to find it, I have almost no details on the driver used in this PC. My boss is more in favor of running the VM and its special devices on a 64-bit host, but expanding the 32-bit host’s memory might already improve the situation. So I go hunting for the driver.
Open the device-manager and go to the videografic-entry. Double-click and then open driver. There you find all informations about the used driver, version, date, hardware. You can try with update whether there are already stored/available older driver. Or goto to details/harware-id, copy it and look for driver for this hardware in the Web. You will find a large number of links, much of them fakes, but after some hours you will have an overview about the driver-history.
I dont know whether the current Win10-images still has the old driver of the first Win10-version or new driver. So try to obtain the oldest issued Win10-image, install it w/o internet (to avoid the unwanted immediate update of the driver) on a free HDD or partition and test the installed videodriver. If working use drivermax or similar software for extracting the driver and delete the installation. If not working do the same procedure with Win8 and Win7 or Vista until you find a working driver. Once you have found a working old driver you can test step for step newer driver until you have found the newest working old driver.
Yes, it´s a lot of work. Per aspera ad astra.
After a lot of exchange (thanks Michael) and tests, the patch, PatchPAE3_2018_11_19 works on my HP PC with Windows 10 32-bit (15063 build), 16 Go RAM. I tried all graphics card driver for the integrated graphics card, nothing to do! So we bought an Nvidia Geforce GT1030, installed the driver for it and it works well!
It doesn’t work for my Windows Embedded Standard 7 computer.
The command “PatchPae2.exe -type loader -o winloadp.exe winload.exe” returns “Failed.”
I tried PatchPAE3_2018_11_19, it worked for my WES7 SP1 system with all updates installed.
Win10-32 1709 modified with patchpae3.exe (19.11.2018) works with PC/motherboard with Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset when the old driver “Intel(R) Q45Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation – WDDM 1.1)”, Version 8.15.10.1749 from 6.5.2009 (was installed by the original Win10-installation) is used. All later video-driver do not work, system crashes will booting.
Hello.
I had problems with installation, but managed to fix it.
Win 7 Pro SP1
I had INTEL HD system and it didn’t let me to go through.
Solution: Go to intel website, download 4400 HD system drivers, install latest 32-bit drivers .
After installing latest drivers and Intel HD system for 32-bit, I am able to use 8 GB RAM.
Thank you for PAE .
PatchPAE3_2018_11_19.zip works perfect with Windows 10 Ver. 20H2 (Build 19042.631). Thank you very much. My last chance for x86, because Redmont sheeps steal 2GB RAM for idontnowwhat Hardware. Now only 334MB for Hardware reserved, crazy.
oh, excuse me, this was a file not from this site but from that http://www.mediafire.com/file/kz2vnkze8pn9l5i/PatchPAE3_2018_11_19.zip/file
Running Windows 7 Starter 32-Bit with SP1 and 2016 Convenience Rollup (sometimes a.k.a SP2). Windows 7 Starter has an artificially enforced usable RAM limit of 2 GB. My test system is a vintage 2008-2009 Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.4GHz CPU and triple-boot OS. Total RAM is 3 GB, all of which is available both to Lubuntu Linux 16.04 and Windows XP Pro SP3, but only 2 GB available for Windows 7 Starter. This system also has Nvidia video and I am using a Vista Nvidia driver from Dell website.
Downloaded PatchPAE3 from the link in the immediately previous post. Extracted the 2 files PatchPAE3.exe and ScriptPAE3v26.cmd directly to C:\Windows\system32 subdirectory on Windows 7 Starter intallation. Opened an elevated command prompt in C:\Windows\system32 subdirectory and executed ScriptPAE3v26.cmd. The script completed successfully with no errors and the patch and script worked perfectly. I now have a fourth boot menu entry for WIndows 7 Starter (Patched) and Computer Properties shows 3 GB useable RAM, as does Task Manager. No problems with video or anything else.
Next step is to try it on otherwise similar other laptops with onboard Intel graphics.
I have been looking for a successful working patch like this for several years. Thanks very much to the developers of PatchPAE2 and PatchPae3!
Today I was unfortunately unable to prevent the Win10 32bit update from Ver. 19X to Vers. 2004 (19041.1).
This once again shot up the kernel so badly that my 8 GBytes of RAM were no longer available.
What did I do?
The last time I ran the CMD patch “ScriptPAE3v26.cmd” after an update. This worked perfectly. Today, however, after updating to 2004, the boot manager again showed me only two identical “Windows 10” entries, both of which could only access 2 GB RAM.
I then called up “MsConfig.exe” and removed the second profile. I then restarted the system.
After the restart, I ran “ScriptPAE3v26.cmd” again, and after another restart everything was OK again: my computer now uses the 8 GByte RAM completely again, and I can also decide in the boot menu again whether the PAE version or the normal Windows version should be started.
MS does not seem to have changed anything fundamental in the transition to Ver. 2004. I therefore assume that the “classic way” via the various manual BCD edit commands still works just as well as the “short way” using only
Del C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnx.exe
C:\*PathToPatchFolder*\PatchPAE3.exe -type kernel -o ntoskrnx.exe ntoskrnl.exe
Del C:\Windows\System32\winloadp.exe
C:\*PathToPatchFolder*\PatchPAE3.exe -type loader -o winloadp.exe winload.exe
Good luck to you too!
Well dont forget to create an backup. On my computer windows crashed, after I have startet the Windows Update.
No need of backup.
Just get 2 different Windows entrys in bootmanager.
So You can boot original or patched windows
PatchPAE ist still working on Win10 20H2 (Oct 20 Update 19042)
Nope. It stopped working for me after Win10 20H2 update. Anybody has it working on 20H2 or 21H1, or knows if there’s a solution?
Have it since 9/2020 and now on 21H1.
Perhaps you will try another PAE, by me with an error message (driver signature problem), which can be fixed quickly with F8 and F7 from this site https://wj32.org/wp/
or a 3rd one for 40€ https://windows-10-32bit-4gb-ram.com/
I wish you success
look at my thread from 5.May21
I’m using exactly this version (2018-11-19) and worked fine until I updated my W10 to 20H2 recently. I have one of the problematic Nvidia graphic boards with te latest PAE working driver 332.21. It worked for years (patching again kernel and loader after every update), but after upgrading to 20H2 it stopped working (botting directly with Repair mode if I try to boot the PAE kernel). The patcher reports kernel and loader both succesfully patched.
I recently had a little trouble. I use PAE from this site:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/kz2vnkze8pn9l5i/PatchPAE3_2018_11_19.zip/file
For Windows update start the None-PAE-Win-Version. After Update start again None-PAE-Win-Version and run the “ScriptPAE3v26.cmd” as Admin and only then the PAE-Version.
And this procedure with every update.
Hi all, I ‘m trying to figure out the tool. I’ve booted my P4 on a Win7 install CD and Shift + F10 for a command prompt. I then use gimagex to apply the Win10 17763.1 install.wim to the HDD. I try to apply the script from the PatchPAE3_2018_11_19.zip but it fails with the error missing FSUtil.exe. I grabbed the FSUtil.exe from a Windows 7 system but running the script now fails with the error it doesn’t have admin rights. What’s the correct way to do the install?
Thanks.
“… the script now fails with the error it doesn’t have admin rights.”
And, did you start with admin rights? (mouseklick right on file)
When I open command prompt from the Win7 Install CD with Shift + F10, the command prompt opens with Administrator. When I run the script in that admin command window, another new command windows opens and it’s the one with the admin rights error.
Is there a readme with the full start to finish install?
Thanks,
PatchPAE3 ist still working on Win10 (Feb 22 Update 19042_1466)
What about 19044.1566 ?
It doesn’t work anymore, it doesn’t neven create the new line in boot menu.
Is there a solution?
Thank you!
