    Compress OS


    Im cleaning my computer, and theres an option in windows own disk cleanup utility to compress the OS drive which will save me about 8 gb on my ssd.

    But it keeps saying that regardless of how many times i run it. Any way to fix it?

    :)

  2. OS Drive Compression

    Greetings, everyone.

    I am using an Aspire ES1-132, with a storage of 28.0 Gigabytes, and I am running short on storage space, and I could not relieve space from the laptop.

    I was told that I could compress my OS drive.

    I need to know if compressing my OS drive is a good idea.

    -Thank You in advance

    Access denied to compressed file

    Hi,

    It seems that the account that is logged in to your computer is not an administrator account that is why you are unable to change the permission settings of the compressed folder on your computer. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the Windows key, type winver, and press the Enter key.

      Are you connected to a work domain?
    • Are you using an administrator account or a standard user account?

    Meanwhile, if you are using an administrator account, we suggest that you try to create a local test administrator account and check if you will be able to change the permission settings of the folder. You can follow the steps in this

    link
    to create a local administrator account.

    We'll be looking forward to your response.

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    My computer output is compressing loud audio such as music.: I'm a musician so I can hear it pretty clearly. I have to lower the output of my apps such as Spotify or Ableton DAW so the compression threshold isn't reached on the output. This problem came after windows 11 update. I think a user also had a similar issue in this thread...
