Space images thread

• Evidence that some early supermassive black holes formed directly from the collapse of a gas cloud has been found.

• These results could represent a major step in the understanding of how the Universe's first giant black holes formed.

• Two candidate black hole "seeds" have been identified, possibly at < 1 billion years after the Big Bang.

• Astronomers combined data from Chandra, Hubble, and Spitzer to make this discovery.

 

Restore points are using more space than is allocated?

Thank you.

1. 'Disk Space Usage' box clearly states "older restore points will be deleted to make room for new ones" but this is not happening.

2. Step 1 should have deleted all restore points but Step 2 suggests that it had found "older restore points".

User settings are being ignored by Windows? Maybe a Windows 10 bug?

Not a big problem. Just another annoyance. I'll just have to manually delete RPs from time to time I think.

 

Not enough space even though there is space

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We will surely assist you with the issue. Refer the below steps.

Step 1:

I suggest you to change the file system to NTFS while formatting and then try copying the files and check.



Step 2:

• • Take the backup of the data, if you have any important data in it?
    
  • Let’s format the drive and check.
    
  • Go to this PC.
    
  • Right click on the external USB device.
    
  • Select Format.

Note: Formatting will delete all the data in the device, taking a backup of the data is recommended before performing a format.

Keep us posted for further assistance, we will be glad to help.
