Windows 10: Windows 10 ver 2004 Taking up 25GB+ more of storage space since install

A few days ago I installed the latest version 2004 update and since have noticed my main drive available space is down by more than 25GB. I know it's not unusual for large updates to temporarily take up extra space like that but I've restarted several times and ran Disk Cleanup to no avail. I did notice though that now I have a "Windows.Old" directory that is approximately that size. Any thoughts about this?

GMail Accounts Get 3 GB of Storage Space

When GMail was first unleashed in 2004, its 1GB of storage space quickly put it ahead of the competition. Now, GMail is looking to further that previous lead, by booting storage space up to 3GB. The reason behind GMail's new storage space is a simple lack of space in some GMail accounts. Google saw a problem, and quickly found a way to fix it. Google Apps will also have storage space increased to 3GB, and Premier Google Apps members will get between 10 and 25GB of storage space.

Storage Space - Simple Resiliency Volume corrupted by Windows 10 2004 update

Hi Anthony,

Reset/Reinstall does not work (as expected).

I have tried to access my Storage Space volume from freshly installed Windows 10 Enterprise 2004: the volume is seen as RAW.

I have also tried to access my volume using Windows 10 Enterprise 1909: the volume is not seen/detected at all. This was expected as the Storage Space system has been upgraded with 2004 update.

Please note that the initial MS support page has been updated and a new KB created: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...teps-for-issue-with-some-parity-storage-space

Clearly, the 2004 update broke my Storage Space volume (simple resiliency).

In this article (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...teps-for-issue-with-some-parity-storage-space),
it is stated that the problem does not affect Simple Storage Spaces.
This is not true!





As ReFS has been removed from Windows 10 Pro since 1709 and is only available for Windows 10 Enterprise, I guess few Windows 10 users will report this issue. Still, this is a fact: as of today, a Windows update corrupted 4TB of user data !!

ReFS is also affected by Windows 2004 bug. As stated in a previous post, there is a memory leak with Windows\System32\drivers\refs.sys and Windows\System32\drivers\refsv1.sys
which are clearly related to storage (and ReFS was used for my "now RAW" volume)

How can I report this problem officially to MS? I have been given a link to paid support but I think it is shocking to pay for a bug that has been deployed by the same company that should fix it!

Should I consider my data forever lost?

This is completely crazy when I think the same storage space system is used for enterprise class storage such as S2D. As sysadmin, I am really worried about MS reliablity here.

Thanks!
