The system see less RAM than is installed

Hello everyone

I have got installed 8GB ram in laptop, but system see only 5,8GB. I don't know what heppend with rest 2,2GB ?

I checked BIOS, everything seems to be correct?

Maybe there is some missing configurations in OS?

Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad E495

RAM that used by integrated GPU is not shown as avaiable system memory. Did you check in BIOS/UEFI how much RAM is reserved for integrated graphic card?
