Windows 10: Am I being Played

I recently bought an Acer Aspire 3 (like 2 days ago) and just recently started setting up my stuff, during which I saw that I had 200 GB of free space which comes as a surprise because it is meant to have 1TB of free space.

So I did a little digging and found that I have 700 GB worth of system files (which is excessive), so I did more digging and found out that Windows 10 did/does have an issue misrepresenting the storage space, and some of you recommend wiztree to check what was eating up my storage.

So, check wiztree and I see that actually, the system files are 43 GB but I only have 250 GB total, which brings me to my question, is it possible to have windows show one thing but in reality, be another? (see pictures for reference)

No sound while playing audio and video files.

Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• Which is the application that you are using to play the files?
• Did you try the same on a different player?
• Did you perform any troubleshooting steps?

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the volume is set low or in mute state in Volume Mixer.

• Right click on sound icon.
• Open Volume Mixer check for the application that you are playing the files with and increase the volume and check.

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to run “Playing audio” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.

Follow these Steps to run Playing Audio Troubleshooter in Windows 10.

1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

2. Select Troubleshooting.

3. Select View all on the top left corner.

4. Click on Playing audio.

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
