Windows 10: Windows 10 Update Cache Clogs Up

We have some tills that are running Windows 10 1607 LTSB and have a hard drive with 60GB of space on. This isn't a lot of space to begin with but we are seeing a problem where the windows update cache folder fills to 20GB which leaves no space left and makes the whole till run slow. 20GB worth of update files seems like a lot to be storing. Is this meant to be deleting itself at all as it just keeps filling up? Is there something I can do to prevent this at all like getting it to automatically clear itself?Thank you in advance

Windows Store Cache Problems (Windows 10)

Hi,

Corrupted Windows Store components are one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. Let's try resetting Windows Store cache as the administrator. Follow the steps below:

• Type wsreset.exe in the search box.
  
• Right-click wsreset, then select Run as Administrator.
  
• Complete the process, then open Windows Store to test.
  

If the issue still persists, we recommend following the suggested steps by
SpiritX MS MVP on this thread. Follow the steps 1 to 4 and see if it helps.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

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
