    System files get bigger every second


    So i was searching for something in file explorer and when i look at the propertied of "Program Files" file, the size just kept increasing and the number of files in it just kept increasing like: 1000, 2000, 3000 every second.


    Then i looked in other system files it was the same thing Documents, Pictures, Users, Local etc...


    I suspect maybe its a virus but not sure so im currently running computer scan.

    Any idea what can cause this?

    any help would be much appreciated.


    Here is the Documents folder before:

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with the processes running on the operating system. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

    • What is the complete error message/ error code of this issue?

      Command Prompt (Admin).

      Enter.
    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Step 3: Also, I suggest you to install all the pending updates on Windows 10.

    • Connect to the internet.
    • Press Windows key and type
      updates
      .
    • Click on Check for updates.
    • Under Windows Updates, click on
      Check for updates.
    • Try to install the updates being shown.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of this issue with the required information for further assistance.
