You cannot manually increase graphics video RAM, what you see in the screenshot is just like a kind of "fictitious dedicated video RAM" for compatibility with old apps.

For latest GPU generations, the graphics video RAM will be assigned automatically depending on the needs/tasks up to 50% of total memory RAM.

However, yours is an older GPU, and for HD 4600 the maximum dynamic graphics video ram that can be assigned (when needed) is up to 2048MB.
