Windows 10: Auto file compression setting on Windows 10 1803?

I was running my main drive down to around the 1.5GB mark and have been meaning to free up some space. To my surprise, I noticed it gained just under 1gb in space but I've disabled storage sense so thought it might have something to do with the pagefile or something.

Yesterday, later in the day, I noticed there were quite a number of files which shows those two little blue arrows on the top right of files pointing towards each other. I haven't noticed it previously, so has a recent update introduced this in that if a drive has certain free space available, it will compress files without being prompted?

I have boticed it happen on my desktop folder, a random folder on the root of my C drive and Documents. I've manually unchecked compress files for these folders, but it does leave desktop.ini's compressed, with me having to uncompress these separately.

I main concern is can I disable it completely, as I note new files added into my Downloads folder gets compressed (the checkbox is unchecked if anyone's wondering)?

I have tried the fsutil disablecompression 1 and a restart but no effect.

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with this.

Thanks

:)

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 April 2018 Update(SCU) Partially Breaks MKV File Support?

Yeah, they play perfectly fine.

Thanks, this did the trick perfectly!

I'm scratching my head then, because so far every computer I update to 1803, even fresh installs, can no longer read the details of mkv files. But at least icaros fixes the problem for now. Hopefully the bug is fixed in Windows natively eventually.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
