Z170 Pro Gaming + I5 7600k = Half RAM detected

Hi! I have a z170 pro gaming and an i7 6700k, with 32GB of ram. I have to change the CPU for an i5 7600k, so, before changing it, I updated the bios with the 6700k in the system (BIOS Ver. 3501). After updating, I start windows to see that everything works, and everything was fine, I turn off the PC and change the CPU. When starting widnows, I go to system properties and it appears as if it only had 16 gb of ram, but in the bios it detects the 4 Sticks. I tried one stick at a time, to see if it was a ram problem, and they all work fine, I got another 32 gb of a friend's ram, and I have the same problem, bios detects the 4 stick, but only reports 16 gb installed. I check the socket for bent pins, and everything looks good. when putting the i7 again, it detects the entire ram (32gb), and windows also reports 32 gb installed. Some help? Thank you in advance.

Launch msconfig, go to the Boot tab, the click on the Advanced Options button (I'm not sure what those are in your language, but here's a screenshot)

Either makes sure "Maximum memory" is not ticked or set it to 32768

the maximum number that I can put is 16384, when I put 32768 with the numpad and I put OK,the window closes, and I enter again to verify if it is configured,it remains in 0 mb

I have another system, I'm going to keep the i7 and I'm going to sell the i5 + z170. =D
