    Why is my computer windows 11 saying that my storage is 700gb out of 1Tb full. I have only few games and in total they are around 200Gb then why do I have 700gb full? In settings - storage its saying that desktop is 220Gb which is right because I have all games there but the first option is games and its saying 350Gb under it but I have games on desktop and its already taking my space but when I click on games that says 350Gb there are only 3 games in total of 4Gb not 350Gb. Can someone help me why do I have so much space full when I have only games in size 220Gb?

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    geforce experience takes an age to load..

    Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

    When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

    So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.
