    Storage says its nearly full despite having only a few things downloaded


    As stated above, I just realized I had nearly no storage space available on my Alienware gaming laptop with 455 GB of storage. My friend asked me to download valorant and in order to make space for that, I ran the dell support assist full scan, manually ran storage sense, I went through my cleanup recommendations and emptied out my downloads and yet I still barely have any storage space. any ideas?

    :)

    Regions speech not available despite correct language pack install

    The issue still remains unresolved, as English (Australia) simply does not show up in the list despite following all suggested steps to date (which I had done previously)

    Downloads timeout on nearly everything?

    All the tests you have done have ruled out your end. I would check with your ISP ASAP and have them put your account on the watch list. (They assign a tech to keep an eye on your traffic to check for lost packets and such.)

    Things that would help- get the IP of the download server and tracert it.
