Allocating more RAM to forge isn't working

[Dag]

I am trying to allocate more RAM to forge because I want to play with a lot of mods, so I edited the JVM argument -Xmx2G to -Xmx8G, but forge could still only use 2GB.

I already reinstalled Java (64 bit) and Minecraft but it didn't change.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

Double check your system environment variables for I think it's JAVA_OPTS or something like that that is setting -Xmx2G

You were right,  _JAVA_OPTIONS was set to -Xmx2048m, thanks for the help
