Windows 10: C Drive is full after a Microsoft update - Windows 10 OS

Computer has 500GB SSD. with only 200gig used as of a week or so ago. Tried to print and got a disk full message today. Noticed the C drive completely full except for 1G of space.


1 have run all the microsoft tools to clean up the drive.

2 installed Folder Size Explorer and it does not show anything taking up hundreds of gigs of space. However, it cannot see these folders, even with Administrator rights.





3 Microsofts Storage tool shows a lot of space used in temporary files.



Even with Admin rights I cannot see into these folders to determine which of them has all this space consumed.


I need some suggestions on how to address this.

Microsoft blocks Windows 10 April Update for Intel SSD 600p Series

Microsoft is blocking some Intel SSDs from installing the April 2018 Update after discovering an incompatibility issue that causes performance and stability issues. In short, the problem was explained by Microsoft as: “When attempting to upgrade to Window 10 April 2018 Update select devices with certain Intel SSDs may enter a UEFI screen reboot or crash repeatedly.” Microsoft says that this issue has no workaround and that those that have attempted to update Windows 10 to the Windows 10 April 2018 Update should revert back to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709.

Unfortunately, the announcement by Microsoft fails to list what specific Intel SSD models are having issues with the OS update. We contacted Intel and discovered that the Intel SSD 600p Series of client drives that was first introduced to the market in 2016 is the most popular drive that is having issues.
