Windows 10: how can i discover if i have downloaded multiple windows 11 files/programmes. and how can i...

How would I be able to discover if I have downloaded multiple files/downloads of the same Windows 11 drivers or files, which is using up hard drive space I don't have to spare? I am a true novice with this whole IT and online gaming so please tread softly with me lol.

Stuck in 'Discovering Files'

Hi Gergo,

The issue you are experiencing normally happens when deleting large files. Another possible reason that can contribute to this concern is system file drivers, such as the antivirus program installed on your PC.

It is normally suggested to separate into multiple sub-folders if you have a large number of video/music files. For us to isolate the case further, we will be needing more details from you by answering the following questions:

• Have you made any changes to these files or on your PC prior to this happening?
• Are the 2 files part of a certain folder, or are they assigned separately?

As an initial step, we suggest that you start your PC in Safe Mode and check if you can delete the 2 files. This method allows you to troubleshoot Windows without all the third party software and determines potential hardware drivers that
can trigger the issue. To properly accomplish this, kindly follow the steps provided on this article:

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10.

Feel free to inform us if you have additional information about your query.

 

Windows 11 downloading "Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22621.1391 (ni_release)" even after leaving the Insider Programme

So I just discovered that my PC was still on the 21H2 version of Windows 11, so I thought that to upgrade to 22H2, I should join the Insider Programme (Beta branch). However, after joining the Insider Programme, I learnt that I shouldn't have to, as 22H2 was in full release. So, I left the Insider Programme, but the Insider Programme version is still being downloaded.

How do I stop downloading the Insider Programme version?

 

Finding .IMG or .ISO file in Windows 8.1 Pro download

Hey guys,

In preparation for my new PC I downloaded Windows 8.1 Pro from Dreamspark, and I wanted to burn it to a DVD, so I can install it on the new PC.
However, in the downloaded files I can't find a .IMG or .ISO file anywhere. I understood that the .IMG file is the one you need to burn to the DVD?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
