    System settings shows much more app storage than control panel?


    The system settings shows that all of my apps are taking up 36.2GB, but when I go into programs and features in control panel, it only shows that all my apps are taking up 7.42GB. Why is there such a huge difference between the two?

    System Specs minor revisions and suggestions

    Change: Hard Disk(s) to Storage Device(s)
    Change: LCD/CRT Model: to Display Device(s):
    add an Audio Device(s) = for headsets and speaker set ups.

    and as others have suggested before: The option to list more than one system spec

    Windows 10 displays more App storage than actual!!

    Hi,

    I'm using Windows 10 in Asus E200HA which comes with only 32GB EMMC memory.

    The Storage Setting displays 1.58GB of installed Apps & Games, but the list shows only 32 apps (including the drivers) which sums
    350MB max.

    Kindly guide me how can I free my valuable storage.

    Thanks in advance.

    System settings shows much more app storage than control panel?

    "Storage" only showing system drive


    shouldn't they still be listed under storage though so the user could see the disk usage? Also at least one of the drives in the red has 150GB available on it which would be more than enough for app storage?

    The app storage location isn't grayed out and can be clicked on to produce the drop down list - I'd guess that the reason there's no drives to select in it is that "Storage" just isn't seeing all the drives in the computer for some reason.
