    How to prevent Windows 10 from using SSD for it's own files


    I observed that Windows 10 uses SSD partition for it's own - probably Windows Update - files.I do not wanna it to use the disk because TBW goes up without even actually using disk.There are directories directly in root of partition with random letters and numbers around 25 characters in length.Their sizes are from 700MB to 1,7GB.Inside them are directories named by number, counted from 1025 to 3082 and some large files like "Windows6.0-KB956250-v6001-x64.msu".Directories with numbers contain files like eula.rtf + .xml + .dll.My question is how to prevent or change partition the Windows Upd

    :)

    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

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    • Are you using the inbuilt ssd or external ssd?
    I suggest you to boot in to the bios and check were exactly the Windows id located for this I suggest you to check the manufacturers guide or contact the manufacturer for getting into bios. and please do let us know with the results.

    BIOS Disclaimer: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that
    may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.
