Any Suggestions ????

 

HP Support Assistant does not respond

Hi Ryan,

There are known issues with the HP Support Assistant app in Windows 10

Your best option is to take HP Support Assistant off your Startup Applications

If you ever need to contact HP Support, you can open the app from your Start Menu

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

Click on the Startup Tab

See if HP Support Assistant is listed there

If it is, select it and click 'Disable'

Close Task Manager

Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter

When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab

Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'

In the remaining list See if HP Support Assistant is listed there , if it is uncheck it

Click Apply and OK

Restart your System and this annoyance will be gone . . .

 

Unknown Space - Not System Restore Files

I've had this issue on every Windows 7 and onwards PC I've owned and it's the dreaded "unknown" space being used that gets bigger and bigger until it becomes noticeable. The issue is this time is it doesn't seem like the easy delete the system restore files option within Computer > System > System Protection





Here's the System Protection settings pages plus the command "VSSAdmin list shadowstorage" run as administrator which confirms no space is being used by shadow copies.









Something that is probably worth saying is that I recently moved from a HDD to a SSD by cloning the original HDD. Since then Programs and Features has not been displaying the file sizes of programs correctly with a number of them being exactly 6.51GB and others despite being 20+GB games (Project Cars) showing as having no file size at all!







This doesn't match the file sizes that Steam is reporting:





Anyone got any ideas on what this could be or a way of locating this unknown space?

Thanks.
