I'm not sure if this is consequential of the proxmox upgrade but my Windows guests do not allocate correctly the RAM.
The amount of ram is recognized (2GB) but guests wont use more than 512 MB. Strangely PVE Summary (the RRDtools graph) display that whole RAM is being used.

I've tried to disable ballooning by adding "balloon: 0" to VMID.conf, guest starts without balloning but the situation has not changed.

Any hints ?

This is my pve version:
