Reduce the max shared gpu memory on windows?

i have a 2 in 1 laptop with 16gb ram and an i7-10510u and a nvidia mx230 2gb.

Out of 16gb of ram I have realized that 7.9gb of ram is allocated for the iGPU according to task manage.

i have an a 1080p touch display and would like to reduce the ram allocated to the igpu to about 2-4gb as i feel it should be enough and anything mor graphical will be handeled by the mx230. i have found that my browser tabs keep reloading as i have only about 8gb ram out of 16gb because 8gb is used by integrated graphics.

igpu uses less than 1gb of ram most of the time, but because of the way it is allocated, i cannot use more than 8gb of ram.

how to i do this. how do i change the limit of ram the igpu can use on windows 10.

 

Thank you.
