    Windows 10 "unknown" 10gb of space used


    I've checked all and it says i'm using 86,2gb of used space, however it doesn't adds up when i manually checked out all the files on my C drive (games, misc, windows OS, reserved space,etc) also i've hibernation off, temp files deleted, no restore points off, etc etc etc etc, making total of 77,5gb total. So anyone can tell me what is taking nearly 10gb out of my already small 256gb nvme?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
