    Disable Reserved Storage

    Hi AveryMillis1

    are you sure that the reserved storage feature is enabled?

    is this a new machine? or have you clean installed windows 10 1003 or later?

    check in settings -> system -> storage

    click on show more categories

    click on system & reserved

    is reserved storage in the list?

    check settings -> system -> about

    under windows specifications

    what version is installed?
