    And did you restart the SQL server after you changed the Max Memory to 4 GB ? This is to release excessive memory grabbed by SQL.

    Max server memory does not require a restart. It is effective immediately.

    Yeah, I know. This is true when going from lower value to higher value and not necessarily Vice Versa. That's why I mentioned

    This is to release excessive memory grabbed

    It is true for both cases. When the Lazy Writer task runs it checks the value for Max and Min and adjusts the targets and the notifies the clerks to adjust their memory accordingly.
