    I noticed this today.

    I found a related thread here. Multiple suggestions were made to try a utility called TreeSize Free. After doing so, I checked the size of all the folders in my personal folder, against User Properties. I understand the individual user's folders are not calculated in Users Properties for privacy concerns but as the only user of my machine and resident in my home I wish there was an option to disable this behavior.

    Comparing to Windows Properties above, we can see Microsoft has elected to ghost 80% of it's content, not to mention the System Volume Information folder. [7 files]/10.4GB is the hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys. 2.1GB are hiding in Program Files\Windows Apps.

    To reiterate, is it possible to natively account for all used drive capacity, without a third-party utility? If so, how, and if not, why?

    Good LAN party games?

    Most of my suggestions have already been listed.

    However, I found Swat4 to actually be a pretty fun LAN game, especially at smaller LAN parties.

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
