  1. SSD Space Gone


    Windows 10 started freezing. I couldn't even reinstall Windows 10.

    I downloaded the MediaCreationTool1909.

    I had on my SSD 33.3gb left.

    After installing the MediaCreationTool1909, I only had 16.something gb left.

    After a lot of messing about for hours of deleting everything in all temp folders, backups and other installed stuff like Edge, People, Spotify and other stuff I have never used and never will. I now have 20.5gb left.

    Is there a way to get back the wasted 12.8gb?

    Also is there a way to get rid of a dead link in the Start Menu Apps list? It's called ms-resourceAppName.

    :)

  2. SSD space

    I had to reset Windows 10 recently. the laptop worked wonderfully. The problem I have now is that the Dec Tuesday update did not work. Now windows modules installer continued to work and the SSD in one day filled almost to capacity. The SSD at the
    start of the day showed 63GB of space used. At the end of the day, the total was 203GB used. I went to system restore and rolled back to the time before the update. I then had 75GB of space used but each time I checked, the space on the SSD was getting
    smaller, about a GB every 20 minutes or so within 3 hours the used space went from 75gb to 102gb. I have since gone to the task manager and ended the process of Windows Modules Installer. The used space on the SSD is no longer getting larger, but how do I
    regain the lost space on the SSD. THe SSD is a Samsung 250 EVO 850.

  3. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
