• TST, hard to say anything definitive without a lot more data, but if SQL doesn't need more than 32GB it won't necessarily allocate more.

    Check that nothing else on the server is consuming a lot of memory. Make sure you don't have large pages enabled. If it's a VM, check what the reserved memory is for that guest.

    Are there signs of memory pressure? Is SQL under any load?
